AbstractResults from chiral effective models suggest the existence of the so-called QCD critical point. These model predictions are highly dependent on the model setup and there is no universal argument for its existence and location. I discuss why a first-order phase transition is generally favored in models at low temperature T and high chemical potential µ, which will explain why the model results are unreliable about the critical point. I propose a useful way to reinterpret the model results as a liquid-gas-type phase transition like that of nuclear matter. This picture provides us with a fairly model-independent description of the QCD critical point not relying on detailed phase structures.

It has been shown that holographic black holes, constructed to mimic the equation of state of QCD computed on the lattice at finite temperature and zero density, display critical behavior at large baryonic chemical potential. In this proceedings, we discuss the mapping of holographic black holes into the QCD phase diagram and the emergence of the critical point and the first order phase transition line.
