The QCD baryon number density can formally beexpanded into a Laurent series in fugacity, which is a relativisticgeneralization of Mayer's cluster expansion. We determine properties of thecluster expansion in a model with a phase transition and a critical point atfinite baryon density, in which the Fourier coefficients of the expansion canbe determined explicitly and to arbitrary order. The asymptotic behavior ofFourier coefficients changes qualitatively as one traverses the criticaltemperature and it is connected to the branching points of a thermodynamicpotential associated with the phase transition. The results are discussed inthe context of lattice QCD simulations at imaginary chemical potential. Weargue that the location of a branching point closest to the imaginary chemicalpotential axis can be extracted through an analysis of an exponentialsuppression of Fourier coefficients. This is illustrated using the four leadingcoefficients both in a toy model as well as by using recent lattice QCD data.
