Description
We employ a conformal mapping of the chemical potential $\mu$ to explore the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter at finite values of the baryon chemical potential $\mu$. This method allows us to identify the singularity corresponding to the critical point of a second-order phase transition at finite $\mu$ given information only at $\mu=0$. This scheme is potentially useful for computing thermodynamic properties of strongly interacting hot and dense matter in lattice QCD. The usefulness of this technique is illustrated by an application to a chiral effective model.
