Title: |
'Rare events and phase transitions in reaction-diffusion systems' |
Abstract: |
I shall discuss a way to evaluate tails of the probability
distribution functions in stochastic reaction-diffusion systems. The method
is based on the semi-classical treatment of a proper ``quantum'' field
theory, which may be associated with the reaction-diffusion models. The
same set of ideas may be applied to a classification of non-equilibrium
phase transitions, taking place in these models.
