We calculate the eigenvalue density at several values of the temperature close to the pseudocritical temperature. For this study we use gauge field configurations generated on lattices of size \$32^3 8\$ with two light quark masses corresponding to pion masses of about 160 and 115 MeV. We find that the eigenvalue density below \$T\_c\$ receives large contributions from near-zero modes which become smaller as the temperature increases or the light quark mass decreases. Moreover we find no clear evidence for a gap in the eigenvalue density up to 1.1\$T\_c\$. We also analyze the eigenvalue density near \$T\_c\$ where it appears to show a power-law behavior consistent with what is expected in the critical region near the second order chiral symmetry restoring phase transition in the massless limit.
