Abstract
An inclusion of temperature and chemical-potential-dependent surface-tension in the gas of quark-gluon bags model resolves a long-standing problem of a unified description of the first-and second-order phase transition with the crossover. The suggested model has an exact analytical solution and allows one to rigorously study the vicinity of the critical endpoint of the deconfinement phase transition. It is found that, at the curve of a zero surface-tension coefficient, there must exist the surface-induced phase transition of the seond or higher order. The present model predicts that the critical endpoint of quantum chromodynamics is the tricritical endpoint.
