Abstract: We study in the present article the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation partial_t h(t,x)=

uDelta h(t,x)+lambda |

abla h(t,x)|^2 +sqrt{D}, eta(t,x), qquad (t,x)inmathbb{R}_+ imesmathbb{R}^d in dge3 dimensions in the perturbative regime, i.e. for lambda>0 small enough and a smooth, bounded, integrable initial condition h0=h(t=0,cdot). The forcing term eta in the right-hand side is a regularized space-time white noise. The exponential of h -- its so-called Cole-Hopf transform -- is known to satisfy a linear PDE with multiplicative noise. We prove a large-scale diffusive limit for the solution, in particular a time-integrated heat-kernel behavior for the covariance in a parabolic scaling. The proof is based on a rigorous implementation of K. Wilson's renormalization group scheme. A double cluster/momentum-decoupling expansion allows for perturbative estimates of the bare resolvent of the Cole-Hopf linear PDE in the small-field region where the noise is not too large, following the broad lines of Iagolnitzer-Magnen. Standard large deviation estimates for eta make it possible to extend the above estimates to the large-field region. Finally, we show, by resumming all the by-products of the expansion, that the solution h may be written in the large-scale limit (after a suitable Galilei transformation) as a small perturbation of the solution of the underlying linear Edwards-Wilkinson model (lambda=0) with renormalized coefficients ueff=u+O(lambda2),Deff=D+O(lambda2).
