 note = {We report on a study of the two-flavor finite-temperature chiral phase transition employing the Kogut-Susskind quark action and the plaquette gluon action in lattice QCD for a lattice with Nt=4 temporal size. Hybrid R simulations of 104 trajectories are made at quark masses of mq=0.075,0.0375,0.02,0.01 in lattice units for the spatial sizes 8^3,12^3, and 163. The spatial size dependence of various susceptibilities confirm the previous conclusion of the absence of a phase transition down to mq=0.02. At mq=0.01 an increase of susceptibilities is observed up to the largest volume 16^3 explored in the present work. We argue, however, that this increase is likely to be due to an artifact of too small a lattice size and it cannot be taken to be the evidence for a first-order transition. Analysis of critical exponents estimated from the quark mass dependence of susceptibilities shows that they satisfy hyperscaling consistent with a second-order transition located at mq=0. The exponents obtained from larger lattice, however, deviate significantly from both those of O(2), which is the exact symmetry group of the Kogut-Susskind action at finite lattice spacing, and those of O(4) expected from an effective σ model analysis in the continuum limit.},
