Impact of eight quark interactions on chiral phase transitions II: Thermal effects

In this talk attention is drawn to thermal properties due to the addition of eight quark interactions in the standard $SU(3)times SU(3)$ chiral Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model (NJL) with t Hooft interaction (NJLH). The schematic SU(3) flavor limit with massless current quarks as well as the realistic case $m_u=m_d e m_s$ are discussed.
