Abstract

Upper and lower bounds are found for the anomalous decay exponent a of localized wave functions and of various two-point correlation functions on typical fractal configurations. The decay of the "superlocalized" wave functions is used to evaluate the decay of the probability distribution of a random walk, which is then used to obtain a Flory-like expression for self-avoiding walks. Emphasis is placed on the differences between "typical" and average quantities.
