Scientific paper

We propose a new mechanism of formation of jets in the cores of AGN. A beam of very-high energy particles is produced in the vicinity of the black hole horizon by strong rotation-induced electric field. The beam becomes visible as a bright synchrotron jet (at pc and 100 kpc scales) because particles interact with a soft photon background and produce electrons whose trajectories are randomized by magnetic fields.
