Scientific paper

For a disordered system near the Anderson transition we show that the nearest-level-spacing distribution has the asymptotics $P(s)\propto \exp(-A s^{2-\gamma })$ for $s\gg \av{s}\equiv 1$ which is universal and intermediate between the Gaussian asymptotics in a metal and the Poisson in an insulator. (Here the critical exponent $0<\gamma<1$ and the numerical coefficient $A$ depend only on the dimensionality $d>2$). It is obtained by mapping the energy level distribution to the Gibbs distribution for a classical one-dimensional gas with a pairwise interaction. The interaction, consistent with the universal asymptotics of the two-level correlation function found previously, is proved to be the power-law repulsion with the exponent $-\gamma$.
