These numbers in {\\em one} disordered system experience strong level-to-level fluctuations in a wide energy range. The fluctuations grow substantially with increasing size of the system. We argue that the fluctuations of the correlation dimension, $D_2$ of the wave functions are the main reason for this. The distribution of these correlation dimensions at the transition is calculated. In the thermodynamic limit ($L\\to \\infty$) it does not depend on the system size $L$. An interesting feature of this limiting distribution is that it vanishes exactly at $D_{\\rm 2max}=1.83$, the highest possible value of the correlation dimension at the Anderson threshold in this model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-07-05T14:29:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractal dimensions", "anderson transition", "distribution", "correlation dimension", "system experience strong level-to-level fluctuations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
