N2  - The QCD phase diagram as a function of temperature, T, and chemical potential for baryon
number, mB, is still unknown today, due to the sign problem, which prohibits direct Monte Carlo
simulations for non-vanishing baryon density. Investigations in models sharing chiral symmetry
with QCD predict a phase diagram, in which the transition corresponds to a smooth crossover at
zero density, but which is strengthened by chemical potential to turn into a first order transition
beyond some second order critical point. This contribution reviews the lattice evidence in favour
and against the existence of a critical point.
