Description
Because of the severe sign problem afflicting lattice QCD at finite
baryon density, still little is known from first principles about the
phase diagram as a function of temperature and baryon chemical potential.
In order to understand its relation
to the underlying symmetries, it is necessary to study QCD in a wider
parameter space with varying
numbers of flavours and quark masses and, in particular, the chiral limit.
I review recent results in QCD at finite temperature and/or density that
help to constrain the phase diagram of physical QCD.
