Abstract

We present a new theoretical framework for diffusion limited aggregation and associated dielectric breakdown models in two dimensions. Key steps are understanding how these models interrelate when the ultraviolet cutoff strategy is changed, the analogy with turbulence and the use of logarithmic field variables. Within the simplest, Gaussian, truncation of mode-mode coupling, all properties can be calculated. The agreement with prior knowledge from simulations is encouraging, and a new superuniversality of the tip scaling exponent is both predicted and confirmed.
