Abstract
The order and the nature of the finite-temperature phase transition of QCD
with two flavors of dynamical quarks is investigated. An analysis of the
critical exponent of the specific heat is performed through finite-size and
finite-mass scaling of various susceptibilities. Dual superconductivity of QCD
vacuum is investigated using a disorder parameter, namely the v.e.v. of a
monopole creation operator. Hybrid R simulations were run at lattice spatial
sizes of $12^3$, $16^3$, $20^3$ and $32^3$ and temporal size $N_t=4$, with
quark masses in the range $am_q = 0.3 - 0.01$.
