摘要
Some recent progress in the theory of magnetic reconnection in the solar corona are reviewed. In particular, the following topics are discussed in detail: (i) The eruptive behavior of a highly sheared magnetic arcade configuration, with formation and ejection of plasmoids - a possible model for solar flares. (ii) The heating of the coronal plasma by dissipation of spontaneously formed current sheets, and by turbulent reconnection leading to Taylor's relaxation.
