Description

We will present a determination of the topological properties of QCD for temperatures above the deconfinement, up to T~600MeV. Numerical results obtained by means of Lattice QCD simulations will be compared with the prediction of instanton gas calculations. Finally, the implications of these results for the cosmological bounds on the axion mass will be discussed.
