Scaling Relations
Thus, the exponents above and below the critical temperature, respectively, have identical values. This is understandable, since the respective scaling functions, originally defined for, should become identical if extrapolated to
Critical exponents are denoted by Greek letters. They fall into universality classes and obey the scaling relations
These equations imply that there are only two independent exponents, e.g., and . All this follows from the theory of the renormalization group.

“All of life and human relations have become so incomprehensibly complex that, when you think about it, it becomes terrifying and your heart stands still.”
