High-resolution GRMHD simulations show that tearing of tilted accretion disks around rapidly spinning supermassive black holes drives order-of-magnitude variability in continuum and broad-line luminosities on months-to-years timescales, explaining changing-look AGN.

Migration traps concentrate stellar-mass black holes in AGN disks, generating self-regulated magnetic reconnection heating that yields excess short-timescale optical/UV variability, flattened structure functions, and deviations from the τ∝λ^{4/3} lag relation.

Migration Traps as Variability Attractors: Optical/UV Signatures of Embedded Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Migration traps concentrate stellar-mass black holes in AGN disks, generating self-regulated magnetic reconnection heating that yields excess short-timescale optical/UV variability, flattened structure functions, and deviations from the τ∝λ^{4/3} lag relation.
