Universal specific-heat amplitude ratio ($A_{+}/A_{-}$)

When the singular free-energy density has $F_s=A_f|a_{t}t{|}^{2-\alpha }{\Phi }_{\pm }(0)$, the same thermal and free-energy metric factors multiply the singular heat capacity above and below the critical point. Their ratio cancels these factors and depends only on the normalized scaling functions of the universality class. This statement concerns singular amplitudes, not regular heat-capacity backgrounds, and needs separate treatment at logarithmic resonances or zero amplitudes. Branch matching constants belong to the fixed-point scaling functions and cannot be chosen as independent nonuniversal parameters.
