Surprises for QCD at Nonzero Chemical Potential
  In this lecture we compare different QCD-like partition functions with bosonic quarks and fermionic quarks at nonzero chemical potential. Although it is not a surprise that the ground state properties of a fermionic quantum system and a bosonic quantum system are completely different, the behavior of partition functions with bosonic quarks does not follow our naive expectation. Among other surprises, we find that the partition function with one bosonic quark only exists at nonzero chemical potential if a conjugate bosonic quark and a conjugate fermionic quark are added to the partition function.
