Abstract

We investigate the scaling properties of the recently acquired fermionic non--linear σ\sigma--model which controls gapless diffusive modes in a two--dimensional disordered system of Dirac electrons beyond charge neutrality. The transport on large scales is governed by a novel renormalizable nonlocal field theory. For zero mean random gap, it is characterized by the absence of a dynamic gap generation and a scale invariant diffusion coefficient. The β\beta function of the DC conductivity, computed for this model, is in perfect agreement with numerical results obtained previously.
