We calculate the effective spatial dimension $d_\text{IR}$ of electron modes at critical points of 3D Anderson models in various universality classes (O,U,S,AIII). The results are equal within errors, and suggest the super-universal value…

Infrared (IR) dimension function $d_\text{IR}(\lambda)$ characterizes the space effectively utilized by QCD quarks at Dirac scale $\lambda$, and indirectly the space occupied by glue fields. It was proposed that its non-analytic behavior in…
Disorder, ubiquitously present in solids, is normally detrimental to the stability of ordered states of matter. In this letter we demonstrate that not only is the physics of a strong topological insulator robust to disorder but, remarkably,…
