Abstract
The full hierarchy of multiple-point correlation functions for diffusion-limited annihilation, A + A -> 0, is obtained analytically and explicitly, following the method of intervals. In the long time asymptotic limit, the correlation functions of annihilation are identical to those of coalescence, A + A -> A, despite differences between the two models in other statistical measures, such as the interparticle distribution function.
