Title: Theory of Winds in AGN 
Authors: Daniel Proga 
Topic: 4 
Session: oral 
Abstract: I present a brief review of results from analytic and 
numerical studies of winds in active galactic nuclei 
(AGN). These winds can be driven by magnetic fields, 
the radiation force, and thermal expansion. In most cases, 
it is hard to distinguish which of these wind mechanisms dominates
both from observational and theoretical point 
of view. Therefore, I focus on specific theoretical 
predictions which could help to improve our understanding 
of the physics of AGN winds.
