We want to derive the fluctuation formula. We start with the definition of the magnetic susceptibility. In general this reads
\begin{equation}
\chi \equiv \frac{\partial}{\partial H} \langle M_{\boldsymbol{H}} \rangle
\end{equation}
with $\langle M_{\boldsymbol{H}} \rangle$ the ensemble averaged magnetization in direction of a homogeneous external magnetic field $\boldsymbol{H}$.
In thermal equilibrium the ensemble average of the magnetization reads
\begin{equation}
\langle M_{\boldsymbol{H}} \rangle = \frac{1}{V Z_c} \left \lbrack \sum_{\alpha} \mu_{\boldsymbol{H},\alpha} e^{ -\beta E_{\alpha}(H=0) + \beta\mu_0\mu_{\boldsymbol{H},\alpha}H }\right \rbrack
\end{equation}
with $Z_c$ the canonical partition function, $E_{\alpha}(H=0)$ the energy without an external magnetic field $\boldsymbol{H}$, $\beta$ the inverse thermal energy $\frac{1}{k_BT}$, $\mu_{\boldsymbol{H},\alpha}$ the total magnetic dipole moment of the system in direction of the external magnetic field $\boldsymbol{H}$ in microstate $\alpha$ and $V$ the system volume.
Now we insert the magnetization $\langle M_{\boldsymbol{H}} \rangle$ in the definition of the magnetic susceptibility $\chi$ and let the derivative operate on the ensemble average. We get the fluctuation formula
\begin{equation}
\chi = \frac{\beta\mu_0}{V} \left \lbrack \frac{1}{Z_c}\sum_{\alpha} \mu_{\alpha}^2~ e^{ -\beta E_{\alpha}(H=0) + \beta\mu_0\mu_{\boldsymbol{H},\alpha}H } - \frac{1}{Z_c}\sum_{\alpha} \mu_{\alpha}~ e^{ -\beta E_{\alpha}(H=0) + \beta\mu_0\mu_{\boldsymbol{H},\alpha}H }~~ \frac{1}{Z_c}\sum_{\alpha'}\mu_{\alpha'}~ e^{ -\beta E_{\alpha'}(H=0) + \beta\mu_0\mu_{\boldsymbol{H},\alpha}H }\right \rbrack = \frac{\beta\mu_0}{V} \left \lbrack \langle \mu_{\boldsymbol{H}}^2 \rangle - \langle \mu_{\boldsymbol{H}} \rangle^2 \right \rbrack = \frac{\beta\mu_0}{V} \left(\Delta \mu_{\boldsymbol{H}}\right)^2
\end{equation}
At zero external magnetic field ($H = 0$) there is no distinct direction for the system, so we can take the fluctuations $\Delta \mu$ in all directions and divide it by the dimension. Thus we can use more data points of our simulation for the average and get a more precise estimator for the susceptibility. Thus finally the fluctuation formula for the initial susceptibility in three dimensions reads
\begin{equation}
\chi_{init} = \frac{\beta\mu_0}{3V} \left \lbrack \langle \boldsymbol{\mu}^2 \rangle - \langle \boldsymbol{\mu} \rangle^2 \right \rbrack = \frac{V\beta\mu_0}{3} \left \lbrack \langle \boldsymbol{M}^2 \rangle - \langle \boldsymbol{M} \rangle^2 \right \rbrack
\end{equation}
where $\boldsymbol{\mu}$ and $\boldsymbol{M}$ are defined above.
