Take the ordered phase selected by a small positive real field, so is real and positive before sending . Stationarity gives . Differentiation yields . ThereforeBoth have mean-field critical exponent one, with a factor-of-two amplitude difference. The below-transition result is the longitudinal response of a selected pure phase. The transverse phase direction is soft, so a transverse zero-field response is singular; an unselected phase average is not the same susceptibility. At , and the linear susceptibility diverges.
