Pulsar may be regarded as a discharge tube by electron-positron pair creation. On this viewpoint we carry out two numerical calculations. The obtained magnetic field is consistent with the flow. We find that pulsars emit their rotational energy through three modes simultaneously. The three modes are (1)relativistic acceleration and following gamma-ray emission in the closed current circuit in the magnetosphere, (2)wind of the electron-positron pair plasma, and (3)dipole radiation.

Even 25 years after the Shakura-Sunyaev seminal paper on the α-disk, we cannot claim that we have a reliable theory of accretion disks in galactic nuclei. Why? Because the problem is extremely complicated, it is essentially nonlinear and contains a number of parameters (i.e. is many-dimensional). The key point is whether it is possible to determine the magneto-hydrodynamical viscosity self-consistently, i.e. as a function of parameters of the disk - the temperature, matter and radiation densities, magnetic field, radius, etc., both in the radiation dominated and matter dominated regions. Another class of fundamental problems concerns the stability of the disk; Krolik mentioned only one instability - in the radiation dominated region, but there are many other types of instabilities which are quite sensitive to the physical conditions in the disk, for example, to the anisotropy of the ion pressure in the outer regions and possible electron-positron pair production near the inner edge of the disk. The other problems include those of the radiative transfer within the disk in various conditions, Comptonization of the outgoing radiation, radiation reflections by the desk, etc. Therefore it is not suprising that one can ‘explain' almost whatever he wants - spectra, variability, jets, wind, etc., by proper fit of the ‘free’ (which are never free) parameters and ignoring the instabilities and so on.

The process of the e−e+ pair photoproduction in a strong magnetic field through the polarization cascade (the creation of an e−e+ pair from a single photon and its subsequent annihilation to a single photon) has been considered. The kinematics of the process is analyzed, and the expression for the general amplitude is obtained. A radiation correction to the process of pair creation at the lowest Landau levels by a single photon is found in the case where the energy of this photon is close to the threshold value. A comparison with the process of e−e+ pair production by one photon is made.
