Five ideas on black hole accretion disks
Abstract
Description
I review five of Bohdan Paczynski's ideas on black hole accretion disk theory. They formed my understanding of the subject and often guided intuition in my research. They are fundamentally profound, rich in physical consequences, mathematically elegant and clever, and in addition are useful in several technically difficult practical applications.
