The connection between multiscaling and intermittency is due to the existence of
statistical conservation laws, martingales, associated to shapes formed by Lagrangian particles in their many body translational invariant configuration space.
In retrospective, the result of
Kupiainen et al. I am most pleased with, is having clarified the relation between
quantum field theory methods and scaling predictions based on many body Hopf's equations.
Later
here and
here
, I used these methods to exhibit how a geometric signature is encoded in the scaling exponent as their perturative expressions admits a classification in terms of Gel'fand-Zeitlin patterns of \(\mathrm{SL}(N\,,\mathbb{R})\) in agreement to an early
general conjecture.
