Description
We analyze the universal scaling behavior of (2+1)-flavor QCD in terms of
various scaling functions corresponding to the magnetic equation of state,
the specific heat and generalized quark number susceptibilities.
Lattice simulations on Nt=4 and Nt=8 lattices with improved staggered fermions
within a wide range of quark masses have been performed and are fitted to the
scaling functions. In general we find good agreement with O(N) universal scaling
for light quark masses which are smaller or about the physical masses. The
scaling naturally includes Goldstone behavior in the chiral condensate.
