Deviations from axial symmetry are necessary to maintain self-sustained MRI-turbulence. We define the parameters region where nonaxisymmetric MRI is excited and study dependence of the unstable modes structure and growth rates on the…

We analyze the stability of a thin plasma disk which is rotating around a compact astrophysical object and is embedded in the strong magnetic field of such a source. The aim of this study is the determination of a new type of unstable…
