title: Anisotropic nonperturbative zero modes for passively advected magnetic fields.
abstract: An analytic assessment of the role of anisotropic corrections to the isotropic anomalous scaling exponents is given for the d-dimensional kinematic magnetohydrodynamics problem in the presence of a mean magnetic field. The velocity advecting the magnetic field changes very rapidly in time and scales with a positive exponent xi. Inertial-range anisotropic contributions to the scaling exponents, zeta(j), of second-order magnetic correlations are associated with zero modes and have been calculated nonperturbatively. For d=3, the limit xi-->0 yields zeta(j)=j-2+xi(2j(3)+j(2)-5j-4)/[2(4j(2)-1)], where j (j>or=2) is the order in the Legendre polynomial decomposition applied to correlation functions. Conjectures on the fact that anisotropic components cannot change the isotropic threshold to the dynamo effect are also made.
