22. In thé fj.-T plane, if the chiral critical endpoint exists at relatively high temperatures, as suggested by: M. Stephanov, K. Rajagopal, and E. Shuryak, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4816 (1998);
23. Phys. Rev. D 60, 114028 (1999), then, implicitly, it is natural that the chiral transition at fi-4O, T=0, is strongly first order.
24. Chiral symmetry is not a rigorous order parameter if any quark mass is nonzero, or when color superconductivity occurs for Nf=3: T. Schäfer and F. Wilczek, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3956 (1999);

30. See Eq. (4.52) of Ref. [3J. This transformation differs from that of [21], but agrees with the final version of [22J.

33. The uncertainty in G0= 10.374 ±.13 is due to errors in numerical integration. We take the central value of [2]; within errors, it agrees with [3J.
34. in Eq. (3) we take or/A) to three loop order. If instead one uses j(A) to two loop order, then for the same value of A//I (= 1,2,3), fic changes by ~ +10%. However, the same /xc can be obtained by shifting Kip, by ~ + 10%; with this shift, the pressure changes by <1.5% in all three cases.

59. When fi<.px, the pressure is small if it is dominated by the thermal Polyakov loop [R.D. Pisarski, Phys. Rev. D 62, 111501R (2000)]; and if its expectation value is also small. Why this should be true, especially ifNj-4Nc, is unclear [35]. Perhaps ms£Q has a greater effect when p-/j.x.
