We show how in the delocalized region, including the transition point, the one-parameter scaling part of the $\\beta$-function for the fractal dimension $D_{1}$ evolves smoothly from its $d=2$ form, in which $\\beta_2\\leq 0$, to its $\\beta_\\infty\\geq 0$ form, which is represented by the regular random graph (RRG) result. We show how the $\\epsilon=d-2$ expansion and the $1/d$ expansion around the RRG result can be reconciled and how the initial part of a renormalization group trajectory governed by the irrelevant exponent $y$ depends on dimensionality. We also show how the irrelevant exponent emerges out of the high-gradient terms of expansion in the nonlinear sigma-model and put forward a conjecture about a lower bound for the fractal dimension. The framework introduced here may serve as a basis for investigations of disordered many-body systems and of more general non-equilibrium quantum systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2024-08-16T09:28:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "anderson localization", "high-dimensional lattices", "general non-equilibrium quantum systems", "fractal dimension", "random regular graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
