Anderson localization transition with long-ranged hoppings : analysis of the strong multifractality regime in terms of weighted Levy sums

For Anderson tight-binding models in dimension $d$ with random on-site energies $\epsilon_{\vec r}$ and critical long-ranged hoppings decaying typically as $V^{typ}(r) \sim V/r^d$, we show that the strong multifractality regime corresponding to small $V$ can be studied via the standard perturbation theory for eigenvectors in quantum mechanics. The Inverse Participation Ratios $Y_q(L)$, which are the order parameters of Anderson transitions, can be written in terms of weighted L\'evy sums of broadly distributed variables (as a consequence of the presence of on-site random energies in the denominators of the perturbation theory). We compute at leading order the typical and disorder-averaged multifractal spectra $\tau_{typ}(q)$ and $\tau_{av}(q)$ as a function of $q$. For $q<1/2$, we obtain the non-vanishing limiting spectrum $\tau_{typ}(q)=\tau_{av}(q)=d(2q-1)$ as $V \to 0^+$. For $q>1/2$, this method yields the same disorder-averaged spectrum $\tau_{av}(q)$ of order $O(V)$ as obtained previously via the Levitov renormalization method by Mirlin and Evers [Phys. Rev. B 62, 7920 (2000)]. In addition, it allows to compute explicitly the typical spectrum, also of order $O(V)$, but with a different $q$-dependence $\tau_{typ}(q) \ne \tau_{av}(q)$ for all $q>q_c=1/2$. As a consequence, we find that the corresponding singularity spectra $f_{typ}(\alpha)$ and $f_{av}(\alpha)$ differ even in the positive region $f>0$, and vanish at different values $\alpha_+^{typ} > \alpha_+^{av}$, in contrast to the standard picture. We also obtain that the saddle value $\alpha_{typ}(q)$ of the Legendre transform reaches the termination point $\alpha_+^{typ}$ where $f_{typ}(\alpha_+^{typ})=0$ only in the limit $q \to +\infty$.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, v2=final versio
