Intersection Exponents of Simple Random Walks in Two and Three Dimensions

The probability that several independent random walks avoid one another decays algebraically with the number of steps $N\to\infty$ in two and three dimensions, $P_N\sim N^{-\xi/2}$, where the intersection exponent $\xi$ depends on the number of random walks. More generally, one may consider several groups of independen...
