Abstract
We formulate a diagrammatic approach for the calculation of the macroscopic dielectric response of a collection of spheres at random positions and embedded in a homogeneous medium. Through infinite summations of specific classes of diagrams, we derive some known results and we also obtain extensions to a recent theory for the renormalization of the polarizability in the Maxwell Garnett scheme.
