Scientific paper

We investigate the phase transition in cold and dense quark matter in an intuitive way that shares common features of the effective model approaches. We first express the quasi-particle contribution to the thermodynamic potential with the dynamical mass M and then discuss how we can understand the possible first-order phase transition with and without the vector interaction from the saturation curve on the plane of the energy per particle and the density. We next extend our analysis including inhomogeneity and discuss the relation between the order of the phase transition and the saturation curve. We emphasize that the saturation curve is useful to infer qualitative nature of the phase transition even without knowing the explicit solution.
