Universal Spectral Correlations at the Mobility Edge

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v2

Abstract

We demonstrate the level statistics in the vicinity of the Anderson transition in d>2d>2 dimensions to be universal and drastically different from both Wigner-Dyson in the metallic regime and Poisson in the insulator regime. The variance of the number of levels NN in a given energy interval with N1\langle N\rangle\gg1 is proved to behave as Nγ\langle N\rangle^\gamma where γ=1(νd)1\gamma=1-(\nu d)^{-1} and ν\nu is the correlation length exponent. The inequality γ<1\gamma<1, shown to be required by an exact sum rule, results from nontrivial cancellations (due to the causality and scaling requirements) in calculating the two-level correlation function.
