Scientific paper

Jets are one of the more dramatic and visible manifestations of black hole accretion. It is becoming increasingly accepted that magnetic fields underlie the mechanism behind the launching of relativistic jets. At the same time it is now appreciated that the fundamental driving mechanism behind accretion is due to magnetohydrodynamical processes and the stresses they engender. Global disk simulations in full general relativity have begun to reveal the radial dependence of disk stresses and the intimate connections between accretion and jet-launching. This talk will review the issues involved, the recent progress that has been made, and the challenges that remain.
