Editing Critical exponents

==Reduced distance: <math>\epsilon</math>==
<math>\epsilon</math> is the reduced distance from the critical [[temperature]], i.e.

:<math>\epsilon = \left| 1 -\frac{T}{T_c}\right|</math>

Note that this implies a certain symmetry when the [[Critical points|critical point]] is approached from either 'above' or 'below', which is not   necessarily the case. 
==Heat capacity exponent: <math>\alpha</math>==
The isochoric [[heat capacity]] is given by <math>C_v</math>

:<math>\left. C_v\right.=C_0 \epsilon^{-\alpha}</math>

==Magnetic order parameter exponent: <math>\beta</math>==
The magnetic order parameter, <math>m</math> is given by

:<math>\left. m\right. = m_0 \epsilon^\beta</math>

Theoretically one has <math>\beta =0.32653(10)</math><ref name="Campostrini2002"> </ref> for the three dimensional Ising model,  and <math>\beta = 0.3485(2)</math><ref name="Campostrini2001"> </ref> for the three-dimensional XY universality class.
==Susceptibility exponent: <math>\gamma</math>==
[[Susceptibility]] 

:<math>\left. \chi \right. = \chi_0 \epsilon^{-\gamma}</math>

==Correlation length==

:<math>\left. \xi \right.= \xi_0 \epsilon^{-\nu}</math>

Theoretically one has <math>\nu = 0.63012(16)</math><ref name="Campostrini2002"> </ref>  for the three dimensional Ising model,  and <math>\nu = .671 55(27)</math><ref name="Campostrini2001"> </ref>  for the three-dimensional XY universality class.

:<math>\alpha + 2\beta + \gamma =2</math>.

Using the above-mentioned values one has:

:<math>0.1096 + (2\times0.32653) + 1.2373 = 1.99996</math> 
==Gamma divergence==
When approaching the critical point along the critical isochore (<math>T > T_c</math>) the divergence is of the form

:<math>\left. \right. C_p \sim \kappa_T \sim (T-T_c)^{-\gamma} \sim (p-p_c)^{-\gamma}</math>

where <math>\gamma</math> is 1.0 for the [[Van der Waals equation of state]], and is usually 1.2 to 1.3.

==Epsilon divergence==
When approaching the critical point along the critical isotherm the divergence is of the form

:<math>\left. \right. \kappa_T \sim  (p-p_c)^{-\epsilon}</math>

where <math>\epsilon</math> is 2/3 for the [[Van der Waals equation of state]], and is usually 0.75 to 0.8.
