By means of the conventional replica-trick within the fermionic path-integral formalism, the model is mapped onto a non-linear sigma-model with fields spanning the coset U(4N)/Sp(2N), N->0. We determine the proper scaling combinations of an infinite family of relevant operators which control deviations from perfect two-sublattice symmetry. This allows us to extract the low-energy behavior of the density of states, which agrees with earlier results obtained in particular two-sublattice models with Dirac-like single-particle dispersion. The agreement proves the efficacy of the conventional fermionic-path-integral approach to disordered systems, which, in spite of many controversial aspects, like the zero-replica limit, remains one of the more versatile theoretical tool to deal with disordered electrons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-05-22T13:11:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disordered bipartite lattices", "non-linear sigma-model", "anomalous dimensions", "derivatives", "generic time-reversal invariant model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
