On the Perturbation Expansion of the KPZ-Equation

arXiv:cond-mat/9802068 · doi:10.1023/B:JOSS.0000026730.76868.c4

Abstract

We present a simple argument to show that the beta-function of the d-dimensional KPZ-equation (d>=2) is to all orders in perturbation theory given by beta(g) = (d-2) g - 2/(8 pi)^(d/2) Gamma(2-d/2) g^2 . Neither the dynamical exponent z nor the roughness-exponent zeta have any correction in any order of perturbation theory. This shows that standard perturbation theory cannot attain the strong-coupling regime and in addition breaks down at d=4. We also calculate a class of correlation-functions exactly.
