Abstract

The diffusion-controlled reaction is known to be strongly dependent on fluctuations in dimensions . We develop a field theoretic renormalization group approach to this system which allows explicit calculation of the observables as expansions in , where . For the density it is found that, asymptotically, . The decay exponent is exact to all orders in , and the amplitude is universal, and is calculated to second order in for . The correlation function is calculated to first order, along with a long wavelength expansion for the second order term. For we find with an exact expression for . The formalism can be immediately generalized to the reaction , , with the consequence that the density exponent is the same, but the amplitude is modified.
