The influence of helicity on the stability of scaling regimes, on the effective diffusivity, and on the anomalous scaling of structure functions of a passive scalar advected by a Gaussian solenoidal velocity field with finite correlation time is investigated by the field theoretic renormalization group and operator product expansion within two-loop approximation. The influence of helicity on the scaling regimes is discussed and shown in the plane of exponents $\epsilon-\eta$, where $\epsilon$ characterizes the energy spectrum of the velocity field in the inertial range $E\propto k^{1-2\epsilon}$, and $\eta$ is related to the correlation time at the wave number $k$ which is scaled as $k^{-2+\eta}$. The restrictions given by nonzero helicity on the regions with stable fixed points which correspond to the scaling regimes are analyzed in detail. The dependence of the effective diffusivity on the helicity parameter is discussed. The anomalous exponents of the structure functions of the passive scalar field which define their anomalous scaling are calculated and it is shown that although the separate composite operators which define them strongly depend on the helicity parameter the resulting two-loop contributions to the critical dimensions of the structure functions are independent of helicity. Details of calculations are shown.
