Scientific paper

It has been a long-standing puzzle what triggers the spectral transition
between the hard and soft states in Cyg X-1. Also, the origin of the frequently
observed X-ray flares in the source still remains a mystery. In this paper, we
will make an attempt to address these issues in light of our recent work on
black hole spin and its observational consequences.
