Abstract
Random-bond Hamiltonians of the flux state on the square lattice are investigated. It has a special symmetry and all states are paired except the ones with zero energy. Because of this, there are always zero modes. The states near are described by massless Dirac fermions. For the zero mode, we can construct a random lattice fermion without a doubling and quite large systems (up to are treated numerically. We clearly demonstrate that the zero mode is given by a critical wave function. Its multifractal behavior is also compared with the effective field theory.
