The multifractal structure of the first factor depends strongly on the lifetime of the mode and describes the average of modes with similar lifetime. The conjecture is supported for a dielectric cavity with chaotic ray dynamics at small wavelengths, in particular for experimentally relevant modes with longest lifetime. We explain scarring of the vast majority of modes along segments of rays based on multifractality and universal fluctuations, which is conceptually different from periodic-orbit scarring. 2026-04-03T13:47:51Z https://opara.zih.tu-dresden.de/xmlui/handle/123456789/5747 Supplemental material for publication: "Chaotic resonance modes in dielectric cavities: Product of conditionally invariant measure and universal fluctuations" Ketzmerick, Roland The supplemental material to the paper (Physical Review Letters 2022, arXiv:2203.09752) presents a gallery of individual modes in position space from short-lived modes to modes with longest lifetime and a mode with high resolution making ray-segment scarring best visible. 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z
