Abstract
Field theories for kinetic growth models, such as DLA or the Eden model, are formulated using simple reaction-diffusion master equations. The approach, based on Poisson transform techniques, specifies the stochastic fluctuations exactly. The author studies the mean-field approximations, fluctuations and the renormalisation group.Keywords
