We generalize universal relations between the multifractal exponent α 0 for the scaling of the
typical wave-function magnitude at a (Anderson) localization-delocalization transition in two
dimensions and the corresponding critical finite-size-scaling (FSS) amplitude Λ c of the
typical localization length in quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) geometry:(i) when open
boundary conditions are imposed in the transverse direction of Q1D samples (strip

We generalize universal relations between the multifractal exponent for the scaling of the typical wave-function magnitude at a (Anderson) localization-delocalization transition in two dimensions and the corresponding critical finite-size-scaling (FSS) amplitude of the typical localization length in quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) geometry: (i) when open boundary conditions are imposed in the transverse direction of Q1D samples (strip geometry), we show that the corresponding critical FSS amplitude is universally related to the boundary multifractal exponent for the typical wave-function amplitude along a straight boundary (surface). (ii) We further propose a generalization of these universal relations to those symmetry classes whose density of states vanishes at the transition. (iii) We verify our generalized relations [Eqs. and ] numerically for the following four types of two-dimensional Anderson transitions: (a) the metal-to-(ordinary insulator) transition in the spin-orbit (symplectic) symmetry class, (b) the metal-to-( topological insulator) transition which is also in the spin-orbit (symplectic) class, (c) the integer quantum-Hall plateau transition, and (d) the spin quantum-Hall plateau transition.
