First interpret the displayed critical correlation function as the connected correlation function
Above the transition at zero field the subtraction is zero; in an ordered phase it is essential. For a dimensionless source coupled to the total magnetization , differentiating twice gives . Translation invariance then proves the correlation-function susceptibility sum rule
Insert the scaling form, use spherical coordinates and set :
For , finite nonzero and an integrable large- tail, the last integral tends to a finite nonzero constant. Microscopic separations add an analytic response background. Thus the singular magnetic susceptibility obeys , and at zero field gives the Fisher scaling relation
A dimensional magnetic field would add a nonsingular inverse-temperature prefactor. Integrating the full unsubtracted ordered-phase correlation function instead would yield a volume-divergent term , which is not the intrinsic susceptibility appearing in this exponent identity.
