  The notion induced symmetry breaking (ISB) is introduced as a generalization
of the spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism and is illustrated in a simple
two flavor spin model. In the case of QCD at finite baryon density, I argue
that the quark interaction induced by zero sound satisfies the prerequisites
which are necessary for a ISB scenario. In this scenario, the quark condensate
sharply drops at the critical value of the chemical potential in coincidence
with a rapid increase of the baryon density. The spectrum of the light
particles is discussed below and above this phase transition. The consequences
of the ISB mechanism for heavy ion collisions are briefly addressed.
