abstract
The processes contributing to the evolution of an initially weak magnetic field in a differentially rotating star are reviewed. These include rotational smoothing (akin to convective expulsion) and a list of about 5 instabilities, among them magnetorotational instability, byoyancy instability, and pinch-type instabilities. The important effects of thermal and magnetic diffusion on these instabilities are analyzed in some detail. The first instability to set in is a pinch-type instability. It becomes important in modifying the field configuration before magnetic buoyancy-driven instabilities set in. The evolution of an initially strong field remains a more open question, including the old problem whether dynamically stable magnetic equilibria exist in stars.

Gravity-wave polarization theory is extended to non-axisymmetric stellar magnetic fields, revealing avoided crossings and a new mixing threshold distinct from the magnetic-suppression threshold.
Presents a grid of 113 fast-rotating, chemically-homogeneous massive star models at Z=0.001 reaching core collapse with high angular momentum for use as supernova and GRB progenitors.
Mass-ratio reversal in isolated binaries offers a viable formation path for GW241011-like events under specific stellar-evolution and interaction conditions.
Simulations with a new tidal model in COMPAS predict that merging binary black holes from isolated evolution are strongly biased to low effective spins, with one third below 0.05 and only 3% above 0.5, but the high-spin fraction rises to 15% at higher redshifts.
