Homogeneous isotropic turbulence: Geometry and the admitted group transformation group

A Lagrangian system for homogeneous isotropic turbulence is considered. The system is determined on the space of correlation vectors with the metric ds2(t) of alternative signature generated by the two-point correlation tensor of the velocity fluctuations. We introduce the functional single-action (length) between these two Lagrangian points of the turbulent flow and study the group of transformations leaving distance statistics to be invariant. We show that this group of transformation with respect to spatial variables coincides with a pseudo-group Lie for the signature (++) of the metric ds2(t) and the group of conformal transformation of the space R21,1 in the case of the signature (+-).
