Abstract
An -channel spinless -wave superconducting wire is known to go through a series of topological phase transitions upon increasing the disorder strength. Here, we show that at each of those transitions the density of states shows a Dyson singularity , whereas has a power-law singularity for small energies away from the critical points. Using the concept of “superuniversality” [Gruzberg et al., Phys. Rev. B 71, 245124 (2005)], we are able to relate the exponent to the wire's transport properties at zero energy and, hence, to the mean free path and the superconducting coherence length .
