Auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) is a high-density radio wave radiation in the frequency band from 50 to 750 kHz, with a peak around 250 kHz, that has been observed emanating from the auroral zone. In connection with its low frequency, the radiation can not penetrate through the ionosphere to earth, so all observations have been made by satellite. The AKR is closely correlated with the occurrence of discrete auroral arcs, which are believed to be generated by intense inverted V electron precipitation bands. A review is presented of several theories which have been proposed to explain the observed AKR. Attention is given to the conversion of electron cyclotron wave to O mode, the coherent amplification of gyroemission by velocity space instabilities, beam-driven electromagnetic instability via low-frequency turbulence, soliton radiation, loss cone instability, nonlinear beating of electrostatic waves, and the beam amplification of electromagnetic wave via coherent EIC density fluctuations.
