We show that the presence of the a_1 meson reduces the vector spectral function around the p meson mass and enhances it around the a_1 meson mass. The coupling strength of a_1 to p and πvanishes at the critical temperature due to the degenerate p-a_1 masses. This feature holds rigorously in the chiral limit and still stays intact to good approximation for the physical pion mass.}, pages = {114003--114003}, title = {Vector–axial-vector mixing from a chiral effective field theory at finite temperature}, volume = {78}, year = {2008} }
