Abstract

We study the transport properties of directed percolation clusters at the upper critical dimension dc=4+1d_{c} = 4+1, where critical fluctuations induce logarithmic corrections to the leading (mean-field) scaling behavior. Employing field theory and renormalization group methods we calculate these logarithmic corrections up to and including the next to leading correction for a variety of observables, viz. the connectivity, i.e., the probability that two given points are connected, the average two-point resistance and some of the fractal masses describing percolation clusters. Furthermore, we study logarithmic corrections for the multifractal moments of the current distribution on directed percolation clusters.
