We describe a recipe for constructing a time-dependent dividing surface free of such recrossings in the presence of noise. The no-recrossing limit of Transition State Theory thus becomes generally available for the description of reactions in a fluctuating environment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-06-09T16:35:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "noisy environment", "state theory overestimates reaction rates", "transition state theory overestimates reaction", "time-dependent dividing surface free" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
