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.

Transport of angular momentum and chemical elements by the MRI dynamo in stellar radiative zones
Stratified MRI dynamo simulations give scaling laws for angular-momentum and chemical transport in stellar radiative zones, with Maxwell stress dominating and chemical mixing more strongly suppressed by stratification.

On the Geometry of the Near-Core Magnetic Field in Massive Stars
In a 3D MHD simulation, the near-core magnetic field at the convective-radiative boundary is toroidally dominated and the rotational shear layer is confined to the Brunt-Väisälä peak, contradicting the dipolar assumpt...

Impact of rotation on magnetic field stability and orientation in isolated neutron stars
In 3D GRMHD simulations, neutron star rotation delays Tayler, kink, and Parker instabilities, so faster-spinning models retain more magnetic energy over 10 Alfven times.
