We consider the orthogonality catastrophe at the Anderson Metal-Insulator transition (AMIT). The typical overlap $F$ between the ground state of a Fermi liquid and the one of the same system with an added potential impurity is found to decay at the AMIT exponentially with system size $L$ as $F sim exp (- langle I_Arangle /2)= exp(-c L^{eta})$, where $I_A$ is the so called Anderson integral, $eta $ is the power of multifractal intensity correlations and $langle ... rangle$ denotes the ensemble average. Thus, strong disorder typically increases the sensitivity of a system to an additional impurity exponentially. We recover on the metallic side of the transition Andersons result that fidelity $F$ decays with a power law $F sim L^{-q (E_F)}$ with system size $L$. This power increases as Fermi energy $E_F$ approaches mobility edge $E_M$ as $q (E_F) sim (frac{E_F-E_M}{E_M})^{- u eta},$ where $ u$ is the critical exponent of correlation length $xi_c$. On the insulating side of the transition $F$ is constant for system sizes exceeding localization length $xi$. While these results are obtained from the mean value of $I_A,$ giving the typical fidelity $F$, we find that $I_A$ is widely, log normally, distributed with a width diverging at the AMIT. As a consequence, the mean value of fidelity $F$ converges to one at the AMIT, in strong contrast to its typical value which converges to zero exponentially fast with system size $L$. This counterintuitive behavior is explained as a manifestation of multifractality at the AMIT.

Using a three-frequency one-dimensional kicked rotor experimentally realized with a cold atomic gas, we study the transport properties at the critical point of the metal-insulator Anderson transition. We accurately measure the time-evolution of an in itially localized wavepacket and show that it displays at the critical point a scaling invariance characteristic of this second-order phase transition. The shape of the momentum distribution at the critical point is found to be in excellent agreement with the analytical form deduced from self-consistent theory of localization.
We investigate boundary multifractality of critical wave functions at the Anderson metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional disordered non-interacting electron systems with spin-orbit scattering. We show numerically that multifractal exponents a t a corner with an opening angle theta=3pi/2 are directly related to those near a straight boundary in the way dictated by conformal symmetry. This result extends our previous numerical results on corner multifractality obtained for theta < pi to theta > pi, and gives further supporting evidence for conformal invariance at criticality. We also propose a refinement of the validity of the symmetry relation of A. D. Mirlin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{97} (2006) 046803, for corners.
We report a simulation of the metal-insulator transition in a model of a doped semiconductor that treats disorder and interactions on an equal footing. The model is analyzed using density functional theory. From a multi-fractal analysis of the Kohn-S ham eigenfunctions, we find $ u approx 1.3$ for the critical exponent of the correlation length. This differs from that of Andersons model of localization and suggests that the Coulomb interaction changes the universality class of the transition.
Electron tunneling experiments are used to probe Coulomb correlation effects in the single-particle density-of-states (DOS) of boron-doped silicon crystals near the critical density of the metal-insulator transition (MIT). At low energies, a DOS meas urement distinguishes between insulating and metallic samples with densities 10 to 15 % on either side of the MIT. However, at higher energies the DOS of both insulators and metals show a common behavior, increasing roughly as the square-root of energy. The observed characteristics of the DOS can be understood using a classical treatment of Coulomb interactions combined with a phenomenological scaling ansatz to describe the length-scale dependence of the dielectric constant as the MIT is approached from the insulating side.
The boundary condition dependence of the critical behavior for the three dimensional Anderson transition is investigated. A strong dependence of the scaling function and the critical conductance distribution on the boundary conditions is found, while the critical disorder and critical exponent are found to be independent of the boundary conditions.
