Conclusions The FRG method is very efficient to include quantum and thermal fluctuations in thermodynamic potential in QM and PQM models The FRG provide correct scaling of physical obesrvables expected in the O(4) universality class The quantum fluctuations modified the mean field results leading to smearing of the chiral cross over transition The calculations indicate the remnant of the O(4) dynamics at finite pion mass, however much weaker than that expected in the mean field approach
