Scientific paper

Large-scale warps in the outer parts of spiral galaxy discs have been
observed for almost forty years, but their origin remains obscure. We review
the dynamics of warped galaxy discs. We identify several mechanisms that could
excite warps, all involving the gravitational interaction between the disc and
the dark-matter halo.
