Abstract: We investigate the persistence probability in the Voter model for dimensions dgeq 2. This is achieved by mapping the Voter model onto a continuum reaction-diffusion system. Using path integral methods, we compute the persistence probability r(q,t), where q is the number of ``opinions in the original Voter model. We find r(q,t)sim exp[-f_2(q)(ln t)^2] in d=2; r(q,t)sim exp[-f_d(q)t^{(d-2)/2}] for 2<d<4; r(q,t)sim exp[-f_4(q)t/ln t] in d=4; and r(q,t)sim exp[-f_d(q)t] for d>4. The results of our analysis are checked by Monte Carlo simulations.
