Abstract
We examine a quantum phase transition in gamma -soft nuclei, where the O(6) limit is simultaneously a dynamical symmetry of the U(6) group of the inte racting boson model and a critical point of a prolate-oblate phase transiti on. This is the only example of phase transitional behavior that can be des cribed analytically for a finite s, d boson system.
