Abstract

We consider the persistence probability that a site, initially unoccupied, remains unoccupied for a long time t in reaction-diffusion systems. The models considered are bosonic, i.e., multiple occupancy of the sites is allowed and can be exactly diagonalized. The persistence shows a wide variety of time dependences depending on the model, the dimensionality, and even the initial conditions
