abstract
We investigate the Fourier coefficients $b_k(T)$ of the net--baryon number density in strongly interacting matter at nonzero temperature and density. The asymptotic behavior of the coefficients at large $k$ is determined by the singularities of the partition function in the complex chemical potential plane. Within a QCD-like effective chiral model, we show that the chiral and deconfinement properties at nonzero baryon chemical potential are reflected in characteristic $k$-- and $T$-- dependences of the Fourier coefficients. We also discuss the influence of the Roberge-Weiss transition on these coefficients. Our results indicate that the Fourier expansion approach can provide interesting insights into the criticality of QCD matter.

Critical point signatures in the cluster expansion in fugacities
In the trivirial model, cluster expansion coefficients b_k have asymptotics b_k ~ A e^{-k μ_R/T} k^{-α} sin(...), switching behavior at the critical temperature, and fitting the first four coefficients to lattice data yields μ_R_br/T ≤ 2-3 at T > 135 MeV.
