We present a review of the influence of cosmic repulsion and external magnetic fields on accretion disks rotating around rotating black holes and on jets associated with these rotating configurations. We consider both geometrically thin and thick disks. We show that the vacuum energy represented by the relic cosmological constant strongly limits extension of the accretion disks that is for supermassive black holes comparable to extension of largest galaxies, and supports collimation of jets at large distances from the black hole. We further demonstrate that an external magnetic field crucially influences the fate of ionized Keplerian disks causing creation of winds and jets, enabling simultaneously acceleration of ultra-high energy particles with energy up to 10 21 eV around supermassive black holes with M ∼ 10 10 M ⊙ surrounded by sufficiently strong magnetic field with B ∼ 10 4 G. We also show that the external magnetic fields enable existence of “levitating” off-equatorial clouds or tori, along with the standard equatorial toroidal structures, if these carry a non-vanishing, appropriately distributed electric charge.

Properties of charged particle motion in the field of magnetized black holes (BHs) imply four possible regimes of behavior of ionized Keplerian disks: survival in regular epicyclic motion, transformation into chaotic toroidal state, destruction due to fall into the BHs, destruction due to escape along magnetic field lines (escape to infinity for disks orbiting Kerr BHs). The regime of the epicyclic motion influenced by very weak magnetic fields can be related to the observed high-frequency quasiperiodic oscillations. In the case of very strong magnetic fields particles escaping to infinity could form UHECR due to extremely efficient magnetic Penrose process – protons with energy E > 10 21 eV can be accelerated by supermassive black holes with M ∼ 10 10 M ⊙ immersed in magnetic field with B ∼ 10 4 Gs.

Generation of the magnetic field during procces of disc accretion onto black hole or magnetize neutrin star may form current structures in a polar region. The instability and disruption of this currents must lead to effective acceleration of the particles to ultra high energy as it observe by GRO and UHE-astronomy experiments.

There are different versions of collisions of two particles near black holes with unbound energy E cm in the center of mass frame. The so-called BSW effect arises when a slow fine-tuned "critical" particle hits a rapid "usual" one. We discuss a scenario of collision in the strong magnetic field for which explanation turns out to be different. Both particles are rapid but the nonzero angle between their velocities (which are both close to c, the speed of light) results in a relative velocity close to c and, hence, big E cm .

We re-examine the differences observed in the pc-scale magnetic field geometry of high and low optical polarization quasars (HPQs, LPRQs) using the MOJAVE sample. We find that, as previously reported, HPQ jets exhibit predominantly transverse B fields while LPRQ jets tend to display longitudinal B fields. We attempt to understand these results along with the different B field geometry observed in the low and high energy peaked BL Lacs (LBLs, HBLs) using a simple picture wherein the spinning central black holes in these AGNs influence the speed and strength of the jet components (spine, sheath). Higher spin rates in HPQs compared to LPRQs and in LBLs compared to HBLs could explain the different total radio powers, VLBI jet speeds, and the observed B field geometry in these AGN classes.
