Description
Understanding the solar activity cycle within the broader framework of stellar magnetic field dynamics is pivotal for comprehending the solar and stellar dynamos. A significant challenge in this pursuit lies in the presence of multiple branches in the relationship between stellar rotation and activity cycle period among main sequence stars. In this presentation, I will elucidate recent advancements addressing this challenge, drawing connections with mean-field dynamo theory and Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS). Additionally, I will explore the implications of these findings for the modelling of solar and stellar cycles.
