We study estimates for the intersection probability, g(m), of two simple random walks on lattices of dimension \(d=4\), 4-\(\epsilon\) as a problem in Euclidean field theory. We rigorously establish a renormalization group flow equation for g(m) and bounds on the \(\beta\)-function which show that, in \(d=4\), g(m) tends to zero logarithmically as the killing rate (mass) m tends to zero, and that the fixed point, \(g^*\), in \(d=4- \epsilon\) is bounded by \(const'\epsilon \leq g^*\leq const \epsilon\). Our methods also yield estimates on the intersection probability of three random walks in \(d=3\), 3-\(\epsilon\). For \(\epsilon =0\), these results were first obtained by \textit{G. F. Lawler}, ibid. 86, 539-554 (1982; Zbl 0502.60057).
