Abstract
The Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI), which can occur in magnetized disks near equipartition, is a good candidate to explain the low-frequency QPO in black-hole binaries. Here we present analytical work concerning the behavior of QPO frequency and the emission of Alfv\'en waves from the disk to the corona.
