Abstract
The critical behavior of semi-infinite systems in fixed dimensions is investigated theoretically. The appropriate extension of Parisi's massive field theory approach is presented.Two-loop calculations and subsequent Pad\'e-Borel analyses of surface critical exponents of the special and ordinary phase transitions yield estimates in reasonable agreement with recent Monte Carlo results. This includes the crossover exponent , for which we obtain the values and , considerably lower than the previous -expansion estimates.
