For this purpose the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm was used and an explicit symmetry-breaking source term \$h\bar{\psi} i \gamma_{5} \tau^{3}\psi\$ was added to the Wilson fermion action. The order parameter \$\langle\bar{\psi}i\gamma_{5}\tau^{3}\psi\rangle\$ was studied at several values of \$(\beta,\kappa,h)\$ on lattices of sizes \$4^4\$ to \$12^4\$. Our largest lattices can be considered as infintely large allowing to extrapolate to \$h=0\$. The existence of a parity-flavor-breaking phase can be confirmed at \$\beta=4.0\$ and \$\beta=4.3\$ while we find no sign of parity-flavor-breaking at \$\beta=4.6\$ and \$\beta=5.0\$.}, language = {en} }
