The spectral rigidity $\\Sigma^2(E)$ also depends on the boundary conditions but this dependence vanishes at high energy $E$. This implies that the multifractal exponent $D_2$ of the participation ratio of wave functions in the bulk is not affected by the boundary conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1998-05-27T13:57:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary conditions", "mobility edge", "nearest energy levels", "metal-insulator anderson transition", "universal behavior" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
