Abstract
Transition state theory overestimates reaction rates in solution because conventional dividing surfaces between reagents and products are crossed many times by the same reactive trajectory. We describe a recipe for constructing a time-dependent dividing surface free of such recrossings in the presence of noise. The no-recrossing limit of transition state theory thus becomes generally available for the description of reactions in a fluctuating environment.
