40. An alternative possibility is that the dominant disorder is formed by resonant scatterers preserving the chiral symmetry (Refs.). A detailed analysis of the evolution from ballistics to diffusion in this model will be published elsewhere.
41. The result in Eq. is twice smaller than the correction obtained in Ref. within the transfer-matrix approach. The reason for this discrepancy is that in the latter case ultraviolet divergency was regulated by introducing a finite correlation length in the y direction only. This resulted in the angle average δ y 2 / δ 2 = 1 being twice larger than for the isotropic model adopted in the current paper, δ y 2 / δ 2 = 1 / 2.

46. The sigma-model action contains also an imaginary Z 2 topological term (Ref.) omitted in Eq.. This term is crucial for ensuring topological protection from Anderson localization at small σ. Here we are focusing, however, on the range of large σ, where the effect of topological term is exponentially small and can be discarded.
