Multifractality beyond the Parabolic Approximation: Deviations from the Log-normal Distribution at Criticality in Quantum Hall Systems

Based on differences of generalized R\'enyi entropies nontrivial constraints on the shape of the distribution function of broadly distributed observables are derived introducing a new parameter in order to quantify the deviation from lognormality. As a test example the properties of the two--measure random Cantor set are calculated exactly and finally using the results of numerical simulations the distribution of the eigenvector components calculated in the critical region of the lowest Landau--band is analyzed.
