We consider random matrix models for the thermodynamic competition between
chiral symmetry breaking and diquark condensation in QCD at finite temperature
and finite baryon density. The models produce mean field phase diagrams whose
topology depends solely on the global symmetries of the theory. We discuss the
block structure of the interactions that is imposed by chiral, spin, and color
degrees of freedom and comment on the treatment of density and temperature
effects. Extension of the coupling parameters to a larger class of theories
allows us to investigate the robustness of the phase topology with respect to
variations in the dynamics of the interactions. We briefly study the phase
structure as a function of coupling parameters and the number of colors.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, proceedings of the workshop "Three Days of
