Description
We report on the computation of the quark propagator at finite temperature in the Landau gauge using quenched gauge configurations. The propagator form factors are computed for various temperatures, above and below the gluon deconfinement temperature $T_c$, and for all the Matsubara frequencies. Our results suggest a strong connection between quark and gluon deconfinement and favour chiral symmetry restoration above $T_c$.
