Disordered critical wave functions in random-bond models in two dimensions: Random-lattice fermions atE=0without doubling

Abstract
Random-bond Hamiltonians of the π 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 E=0 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 801×801) 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.
