15. No diagrams dress the particle propagators of formal approaches when the only interaction is annihilation (see Ref. 3). This is not true when long-range interactions are included.

27. When one species is immobile correlations can become important 7, particularly for the domain structure of the immobile species. For purely diffusive systems, this is a singular limit 3.
28. There is no pair creation, ∅→A+B, in our dynamics. This corresponds to being at a temperature far below the chemical potential of pairs.
29. The initial particle density is tuned by a chemical potential. It does not affect the asymptotic exponents of the subsequent evolution.

35. A quenched 2D XY model can be approximated by a system of charged-vortices interacting logarithmically, with n=1 (see Sec. V). Coarse-grained charge fluctuations with μ=2, as described by Eq. (4), lead to the correct mixed morphology with L∼lAA∼t1/2 (up to logarithms; see, e.g., Refs. 1938). In contrast, characterizing the initial fluctuations by the excess number of vortices within a sharply defined box of size L, i.e., μ=32, leads to a segregated morphology with L∼t1/2 but lAA∼t3/8 25, which is not observed 1938.
36. We coarse grain the charge density to a small but finite fraction of L, and we assume a smooth domain structure at that scale. Alternatively, we could build in a fractal domain structure (see Ref. 7), but we cannot a priori determine if a fractal structure evolves from the dynamics.

38. We self-consistently determine the shortest applicable annihilation time τ(lAB), the largest relevant reaction-zone width W(τ), and the corresponding particle spacing in the reaction zone lAB, in terms of their time exponents. The results are given in Tables II and III.
39. Other morphologies are possible in principle, though they have not been observed in reaction-diffusion systems. They would introduce new length scales.
40. In general, reaction zones are inhomogeneous, with profiles scaled by the reaction-zone width W and particle spacing lAB 46, and with dilute multiscaling tails 8. Our analysis is unchanged by these refinements.
41. This linear transition zone is precisely the “boundary layer” in the coarse-grained treatment of Ben-Naim and Redner 6. Note that force-driven and ballistic annihilation mechanisms, not contained in their approach, stabilize the reaction zone when LX≪W.

44. The ordering kinetics of scalar systems in d=1 with long-range interactions reduces to alternatingly charged domain walls (particles) with long-range interactions when the domain walls are initially randomly distributed. See A. D. Rutenberg and A. J. Bray, Phys. Rev. E 50, 1900 (1994).PLEEE8
