Abstract
A systematic theory for the diffusion-limited reaction processes and is developed. Fluctuations are taken into account via the field-theoretic dynamical renormalization group. For even , the mean field rate equation, which predicts only an active phase, remains qualitatively correct near dimensions; but below a nontrivial transition to an inactive phase governed by power law behavior appears. For odd , there is a dynamic phase transition for any which is described by the directed percolation universality class.
