The Resistance of Feynman Diagrams and the Percolation Backbone Dimension

We present a new view of Feynman diagrams for the field theory of transport on percolation clusters. The diagrams for random resistor networks are interpreted as being resistor networks themselves. This simplifies the field theory considerably as we demonstrate by calculating the fractal dimension $D_B$ of the percolation backbone to three loop order. Using renormalization group methods we obtain $D_B = 2 + \epsilon /21 - 172\epsilon^2 /9261 + 2 \epsilon^3 (- 74639 + 22680 \zeta (3))/4084101$,where$\epsilon = 6-d$with$d$beingthespatialdimensionand$\zeta (3) = 1.202057…$.
