Localization-delocalization transition of disordered d-wave superconductors in class CI

A lattice model for disordered d-wave superconductors in class CI is reconsidered. Near the band-center, the lattice model can be described by Dirac fermions with several species, each of which yields WZW term for an effective action of the Goldstone mode. The WZW terms cancel out each other because of the four-fold symmetry of the model, which suggests that the quasiparticle states are localized. If the lattice model has, however, symmetry breaking terms which generate mass for any species of the Dirac fermions, remaining WZW term which avoids the cancellation can derive the system to a delocalized strong-coupling fixed point.
