Abstract
By using Monte Carlo (MC) methods we study the deconfining transition of QCD with color group SU(3) at finite temperature. The fermion polarization effects are kept in account by implementing the pseudo-fermion method. We use two different lattice volumes (63 × 4, 83 × 4) to check finite size effects. Even in the presence of light quarks we find a discontinuous transition. The existence of this transition is observed both creating metastable states and using mixed phase runs.
