Scientific paper

We review the current state of the field, discussing how the currently available binary population synthesis models are challenged by recent observations both in the field and in globular clusters, the pitfalls and the success. Main topics that we discuss are the link between the theoretically obtained mass transfer rates and observed X-ray luminosities, the types of low-mass X-ray binary evolution and the formation of millisecond pulsars, specifics of low-mass X-ray binary formation end evolution in globular clusters and observational constraints for theoretical studies of short-period black hole binaries-the formation rate, donor's spectral classes and surface chemical composition.
