We review advances in the theoretical and computational studies of disk
winds, jets and outflows including: the connection between accretion and jets,
the launch of jets from magnetized disks, the coupled evolution of jets and
disks, the interaction of magnetized young stellar objects with their
surrounding disks and the relevance to outflows, and finally, the link between
jet formation and gravitational collapse. We also address the predictions that
the theory makes about jet kinematics, collimation, and rotation, that have
recently been confirmed by high spatial and spectral resolution observations.
Disk winds have a universal character that may account for jets and outflows
during the formation of massive stars as well as brown dwarfs.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures, review to appear in Protostars and Planets V, B.
