Abstract
It is shown that if the pair correlation function of any tracer in inc ompressible turbulent flow is scale invariant with the exponent zeta2, then the exponent of two-point function of 2nth order does not equal nzeta2. In this case, the probability distribution should depend, gene rally speaking, on an infinite number of parameters (fluxes of the int egrals). Three examples are considered: two-dimensional vorticity casc ade, action cascade in Clebsch variables, and entropy cascade in inhom ogeneously heated fluid.
