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.
