Abstract

We study the topological charge in N_f = 2 QCD at finite temperature using Möbius domain-wall fermions. The susceptibility X_t of the topological charge defined either by the index of overlap Dirac operator or a gluonic operator is investigated at several values of temperature T (> T_c) varying the quark mass. A strong suppression of the susceptibility is observed below a certain value of the quark mass. The relation with the restoration of U_A(1) is discussed.
