Abstract
We study the chiral phase diagram in the $T$-$\ensuremath{\mu}$-${m}_{0}$ space of the two-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the approach of the Landau theory of phase transitions. The tricritical point (TCP) is an endpoint of a line of triple points as well as a crosspoint of three $\ensuremath{\lambda}$-transition lines. These double characters bring the connective and consistent problem of a critical phenomenon at the TCP. There is a crossover region from normal critical to tricritical behavior near the TCP, no matter whether the current quark mass is zero or not. The critical exponents need to be renormalized when one approaches the TCP along the first-order phase-transition line.
