Abstract
The theoretical understanding of classical stochastic many-body systems is relevant to a wide variety of phenomena in physics and beyond. We focus on an important class of models describing diffusion-limited reactions. Within the framework of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, we compare various approaches to the classical many-body problem and discuss, from our point of view, the promising perspectives in this field.
