Theoretical Study of the Effects of Magnetic Field Geometry on the High-Energy Emission of Blazars

The knowledge of the structure of the magnetic field inside a blazar jet, as deduced from polarization observations at radio to optical wavelengths, is closely related to the formation and propagation of relativistic jets that result from accretion onto supermassive black holes. However, a largely u...
