It is shown that the IPR distribution function is scale-invariant, with a power-law asymptotic ``tail''. This scale invariance implies that the fractal dimensions $D_q$ are non-fluctuating quantities, contrary to a recent claim in the literature. A recently proposed relation between $D_2$ and the spectral compressibility $\\chi$ is violated in the regime of strong multifractality, with $\\chi\\to 1$ in the limit $D_2\\to 0$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-01-08T18:22:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "inverse participation ratio", "anderson transition", "fluctuations", "power-law random banded matrix model", "scale invariance implies" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
