Renormalized field theory and particle density profile in driven   diffusive systems with open boundaries
  We investigate the density profile in a driven diffusive system caused by a plane particle source perpendicular to the driving force. Focussing on the case of critical bulk density $\bar{c}$ we use a field theoretic renormalization group approach to calculate the density $c(z)$ as a function of the distance from the particle source at first order in $\epsilon=2-d$ ($d$: spatial dimension). For $d=1$ we find reasonable agreement with the exact solution recently obtained for the asymmetric exclusion model. Logarithmic corrections to the mean field profile are computed for $d=2$ with the result $c(z)-\bar{c} \sim z^{-1} (\ln(z))^{2/3}$ for $z \rightarrow \infty$.
