Kraichnan’s model of passive scalar advection in which the driving velocity field has fast temporal decorrelation is studied as a case model for understanding the appearance of anomalous scaling in turbulent systems. We demonstrate how the techniques of renormalized perturbation theory lead (after exact resummations) to equations for the statistical quantities that reveal also non perturbative effects. It is shown that ultraviolet divergences in the diagrammatic expansion translate into anomalous scaling with the inner length acting as the renormalization scale. In this paper we compute analytically the infinite set of anomalous exponents that stem from the ultraviolet divergences. Notwithstanding, non-perturbative effects furnish a possibility of anomalous scaling based on the outer renormalization scale. The mechanism for this intricate behavior is examined and explained in detail. We show that in the language of L’vov, Procaccia and Fairhall [Phys. Rev. E 50, 4684 (1994)] the problem is “critical” i.e. the anomalous exponent of the scalar primary field � = �c. This is precisely the condition
