Logarithmic Corrections in Directed Percolation

Abstract

We study directed percolation at the upper critical transverse dimension $d=4$, where critical fluctuations induce logarithmic corrections to the leading (mean-field) behavior. Viewing directed percolation as a kinetic process, we address the following properties of directed percolation clusters: the mass (the number of active sites or particles), the radius of gyration and the survival probability. Using renormalized dynamical field theory, we determine the leading and the next to leading logarithmic corrections for these quantities. In addition, we calculate the logarithmic corrections to the equation of state that describes the stationary homogeneous particle density in the presence of a homogeneous particle source.
