Disordered Critical Wave functions in Random Bond Models in Two Dimensions -- Random Lattice Fermions at $E=0$ without Doubling

Abstract

Random bond Hamiltonians of the $\pi$ flux state on the square lattice are investigated. It has a special symmetry and all states are paired except the ones with zero energy. Because of this, there are always zero-modes. The states near $E=0$ are described by massless Dirac fermions. For the zero-mode, we can construct a random lattice fermion without a doubling and quite large systems ( up to $801 \times 801$) are treated numerically. We clearly demonstrate that the zero-mode is given by a critical wave function. Its multifractal behavior is also compared with the effective field theory.
