  "abstract": "Using Monte Carlo simulations we have studied the transition from an \"active\" steady state to an absorbing \"inactive\" state for two versions of the branching annihilating random walks with parity conservation on a square lattice. In the first model the randomly walking particles annihilate when they meet and the branching process creates two additional particles; in the second case we distinguish particles and antiparticles created and annihilated in pairs. Quite distinct critical behavior is found in the two cases, raising the question of what determines universality in this kind of systems.",
