The Yang-Yang anomaly [1] provides (Eq. 3):
where is the heat capacity at constant volume and is the chemical potential.
Given that experimentally it is found that diverges at the critical temperature this implies that
either or , or both, diverge as .
Fisher and Orkoulas [2] showed the both diverge.
