The boundary acts as a particle reservoir which is necessary to maintain the critical particle density in the bulk. The scaling behavior of correlation and response functions is governed by a new exponent eta_1 which is related to the anomalous scaling dimension of the chemical potential of the boundary. The new exponent and a universal amplitude ratio for the density profile are calculated at first order in epsilon = 5-d. Some of our results are checked by computer simulations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-05-15T12:43:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "driven diffusive system", "surface critical behavior", "open boundaries", "field theoretic renormalization group methods", "universal amplitude ratio" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
