Abstract
A remarkable thermodynamic fermion-boson symmetry is found for the canonica l ensemble of ideal quantum gases in harmonic oscillator potentials of odd dimensions. The bosonic partition function is related to the fermionic one extended to negative temperatures, and vice versa. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scienc e B.V. All rights reserved.
