Abstract

Relativistic jets are collimated plasma outflows with speeds close to the light speed from the vicinities of black holes. They are associated with some fraction of active galaxies and with the most luminous transient phenomena, gamma-ray bursts. There are several basic problems on formation of relativistic jets; mechanisms of energy injection, mass injection, acceleration, collimation, stability, and dissipation. This article reviews the current theoretical framework for solving those problems and a recent development on understanding physics of Blandford-Znajek process, i.e. steady electromagnetic energy injection by rotating black holes. The relationships are also mentioned among studies of relativistic jets, stellar evolution, galaxy evolution, high-energy cosmic-rays, neutrinos, gravitational waves, observational cosmology, and fundamental physics.
