The $A + B\to 0$ diffusion-limited reaction, with equal initial densities $a(0) = b(0) = n_0$, is studied by means of a field-theoretic renormalization group formulation of the problem. For dimension $d > 2$ an effective theory is derived,…
The diffusion-controlled reaction $kA\rightarrow\emptyset$ is known to be strongly dependent on fluctuations in dimensions $d\le d_c=2/(k-1)$. We develop a field theoretic renormalization group approach to this system which allows explicit…
We study a two-species reaction-diffusion model where A+A->0, A+B->0 and B+B->0, with annihilation rates lambda0, delta0 > lambda0 and lambda0, respectively. The initial particle configuration is taken to be randomly mixed with mean…
Renormalization group calculations for fluctuation-dominated reaction-diffusion systems are generally in agreement with simulations and exact solutions. However, simulations of the single-species reactions 3A->(0,A,2A) at their upper…
We study a class of reaction-diffusion model extrapolating continuously between the pure coagulation-diffusion case ($A+A\to A$) and the pure annihilation-diffusion one ($A+A\to\emptyset$) with particles input ($\emptyset\to A$) at a rate…
Using field-theoretic renormalization group methods the long-time behaviour of the A+B -> 0 annihilation reaction with equal initial densities n_A(0) = n_B(0) = n_0 in a quenched random velocity field is studied. At every point (x, y) of a…
We study reaction zones in three different versions of the A+B->0 system. For a steady state formed by opposing currents of A and B particles we derive scaling behavior via renormalization group analysis. By use of a previously developed…
Renormalization is one of the deepest ideas in physics, yet its exact implementation in any interesting problem is usually very hard. In the present work, following the approach by Glazek and Maslowski in the flat space, we will study the…
Healthy and sick individuals (A and B particles) diffuse independently with diffusion constants D_A and D_B. Sick individuals upon encounter infect healthy ones (at rate k), but may also spontaneously recover (at rate 1/\tau). The…
We study a two-species reaction-diffusion system with the reactions $A+A\to (0, A)$ and $A+B\to A$, with general diffusion constants $D_A$ and $D_B$. Previous studies showed that for dimensions $d\leq 2$ the $B$ particle density decays with…
An analytical renormalization group treatment is presented of a model which, for one value of parameters, is equivalent to diffusion limited aggregation. The fractal dimension of DLA is computed to be 2-1/2+1/5=1.7. Higher multifractal…
An iterative procedure is developed with the aim of constructing homogeneity rules for the distribution P(rho,delta) of the particle density rho at resolution scale delta. A single iteration step consists of a change in the normalization…
The $\Delta$ decay in the nuclear medium is calculated in the relativistic meson-nucleon model. The delta spreading width is calculated and compared with the Pauli-blocked $\pi$N decay width. The influence of relativistic mean fields is…
A simple example of a non-equilibrium system for which fluctuations are important is a system of particles which diffuse and may annihilate in pairs on contact. The renormalization group can be used to calculate the time dependence of the…
The steady-state phase diagram of the one-dimensional reaction-diffusion model 2A -> 3A, 2A -> 0 is studied through the non-hermitian density matrix renormalization group. In the absence of single-particle diffusion the model reduces to the…
We study the Delta I =3/2 and Delta S =2 amplitudes for hyperon decays of the form (B to B(prime) pion) at lowest order in chiral perturbation theory. At this order, the Delta I=3/2 amplitudes depend on only one constant. We extract the…
Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a model of fractal growth that had attained a paradigmatic status due to its simplicity and its underlying role for a variety of pattern forming processes. We present a convergent calculation of the…
We consider diffusion-limited reactions A_i + A_j -> 0 (1 <= i < j <= q) in d space dimensions. For q > 2 and d >= 2 we argue that the asymptotic density decay for such mutual annihilation processes with equal rates and initial densities is…
We study the kinetics of diffusion-limited coalescence, A+A-->A, and annihilation, A+A-->0, in the Bethe lattice of coordination number z. Correlations build up over time so that the probability to find a particle next to another varies…
The scaling form of the whole distribution P(D) of the random diffusion coefficient D(x) in a model of classically diffusing particles is investigated. The renormalization group approach above the lower critical dimension d=0 is applied to…
