Abstract
Using microcanonical simulation techniques we study SO(3) gauge theory with dynamical quarks and contrast the results with quenched simulations. We measure the expectation values of the gauge action, \ensuremath{\psi}\ifmmode\bar\else\textasciimacron\fi{}\ensuremath{\psi}, and the ${Z}_{2}$ monopole current density. We locate the first-order bulk transition in the quenched case by exhibiting metastable states and find that the effect of the light dynamical fermions on the transition is simply a shift in the critical coupling.
