Spatial statistics of magnetic field in two-dimensional chaotic flow in   the resistive growth stage
  The correlation tensors of magnetic field in a two-dimensional chaotic flow of conducting fluid are studied. It is shown that there is a stage of resistive evolution where the field correlators grow exponentially with time what contradicts to the statements present in literature. The two- and four-point field correlation tensors are computed explicitly in this stage in the framework of Batchelor-Kraichnan-Kazantsev model.   These tensors demonstrate highly intermittent statistics of the field fluctuations both in space and time.
