The integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) has recently been proposed to have an exactly parabolic multifractality spectrum [1, 2]. Due to strong corrections to scaling, however the corresponding exponents are very difficult to access numerically. A close relative of the IQHE (class A) is the spin quantum Hall effect (SQHE, class C). In contrast to IQHE, for SQHE analytical results for certain anomalous exponents are available [3]. Correspondingly, corrections to scaling are under better control. Thus motivated, we here present a numerical study of multifractality at the SQHE using the corresponding network model. Our results: The multifractal spectrum of SQHE obeys the expected symmetry relation [4]; the analytically known exponents for the LDoS moments, x2= 1/4, x3= 0, are reproduced with good precision: 0.2504 ± 0.008 and 0.000 ± 0.002. The spectrum exhibits significant deviations from parabolicity, i.e. xq/q(3−q) shows linear term a1= 0.0021 ± 0.0002. We see our results as providing constraints for future analytical theories of the SQHE. [1] R. Bondesan, et al., Nucl. Phys. B 918, 52 (2017). [2] M. Zirnbauer, arXiv:1805.12555 (2018). [3] F.
