Conformal invariance in turbulence
For more than two decades there have been speculations on the existence of the conformal group (CG) in the statistics of certain class of hydrodynamic models, which includes two-dimensional turbulence and the quasi-geostrophic approximation.The CG can be understood as a "local scaling" and plays a remarkable role in physics, as most of the non-trivial exact solutions of dynamical and statistical models follow from the underlying CG transformation.The talk will concern analytical study of the evolution equation for one-point probability density function of scalar variables in the class of hydrodynamic models. It will be argued that characteristic lines of these equations are CG invariant under certain conditions.
