Abstract
The presence of the magnetic field breaks the isotropy of the gas system because velocities in a plane normal to the field are modified, while velocities parallel to it are not. As a result, the transport coefficients turn into tensors with three (five in the case of viscosity) independent components. In a frame of reference where the x axis has the direction of the magnetic field the transport coefficients (but the viscosity) are written as:
