Using a perturbative renormalization group analysis of the corresponding non-linear sigma model (NL$\\sigma$M) we compute the anomalous scaling dimensions of the dominant scalar operators with $2s$ gradients to one-loop order. We show that, in analogy with the result of AKL for ordinary, metallic systems (Wigner-Dyson classes), an infinite number of high-gradient operators would become relevant (in the renormalization group sense) near two dimensions if contributions beyond one-loop order are ignored. We explore the possibility to compare, in symmetry class D, the $\\epsilon=(2-d)$ expansion in $d<2$ with exact results in one dimension. The method we use to perform the one-loop renormalization analysis is valid for general symmetric spaces of K\\\"ahler type, and suggests that this is a generic property of the perturbative treatment of NL$\\sigma$Ms defined on Riemannian symmetric target spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-12-06T02:54:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "broken time-reversal symmetry", "conductance fluctuations", "disordered superconductors", "one-loop order", "riemannian symmetric target spaces" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
