Scientific paper

Evolutionary stellar models have been constructed for low mass stars, and their surface rotation rates and light element abundances are compared with observations in open cluster stars and the Sun. An angular momentum loss law that saturates at high surface rotation rates allows rapid surface rotation in young main sequence stars, and the mass dependence of the rotation is found to depend on the assumed magnetic field geometry and thus the assumed cluster ages. Different prescriptions for internal angular momentum transport are investigated, and their impact on observable quantities is discussed.
