Abstract
I present a calculation of the topological susceptibility in gauge theory with colors and degenerate flavors of fermions. The results lie on a common curve when expressed in terms of the combination where is the pseudoscalar meson mass and is the flow parameter. approaches its quenched value as the pseudoscalar mass becomes large. The lattice simulations use clover fermions. They are done at a single lattice spacing, roughly matched across , and over a restricted range of fermion masses.
