Abstract: Dimensional reduction occurs when the critical behavior of one system can be related to that of another system in a lower dimension. We show that this occurs for directed branched polymers (DBP) by giving an exact relationship between DBP models in D+1 dimensions and repulsive gases at negative activity in D dimensions. This implies relations between exponents of the two models: $gamma(D+1)=alpha(D)$ (the exponent describing the singularity of the pressure), and $u_{perp}(D+1)=u(D)$ (the correlation length exponent of the repulsive gas). It also leads to the relation $heta(D+1)=1+sigma(D)$, where $sigma(D)$ is the Yang-Lee edge exponent. We derive exact expressions for the number of DBP of size N in two dimensions.
