Abstract

I make a perhaps slightly foolhardy attempt to synthesize a semi-coherent scenario relating cycle characteristics, starspots, and the underlying magnetic fields with stellar properties such as mass and rotation. Key to this attempt is to first study single dwarfs; differential rotation plays a surprising role.
