Write , so , and take . The small-wavenumber static structure factor behaves as
The spatial Fourier transform of in dimensions scales as . Thus
and in three dimensions . Since this two-point correlation function tends to zero rather than to a nonzero constant at large separation, it is incompatible with true long-range ferromagnetic order and hence with spontaneous symmetry breaking at this higher temperature.
