Abstract

We study mesonic and baryonic correlation functions in the temporal directions in the vicinity of the critical temperature T {reversed tilde equals} Tc using the instanton liquid model, in which chiral symmetry restoration is driven by the formation of instanton-antiinstanton molecules. Although we find the signals for all hadronic poles to be drastically reduced, some hadronic states seem to survive the phase transition, as loosely bound U(Nf) × U(Nf) chiral multiplets for mesons and parity doublets for baryons.
