The Renyi Entropy and the Multifractal Spectrum of Systems Near the Localization Transition

Abstract

We show that the Rényi entropies of single particle, extended wave functions for disordered systems contain information about the multifractal spectrum. It is shown for moments of the Rényi entropy, $S_n$, where $|n|<1$, it is possible to extract universal information about the multifractility of such systems. This is shown through a generic calculation and then illustrated through two example models. We find good agreement between our analytic formula and numerical simulations of the two test models. Our formalism is easily extendable to generic non-interacting fermion models. It is also suggested that recent experimental advances in measuring the multifractal spectrum might allow some moments of the Rényi entropy to be measured.
