Abstract
The anomalous transport of the electron thermal energy and that of the longitudinal current density are related to each other and described by a diffusion matrix equation. The symmetry properties of the matrix diffusion coefficients are identified and used to prescribe realistic conditions on the radial profiles of the electron temperature T and of the current density J parallel-toKeywords
