Title: Novel Features of the Pulsar Magnetosphere
Abstract:

In the past 5 years new high resolution global numerical simulations of the pulsar magnetosphere have appeared in the literature. We will present their main results regarding the origin of the pulsar wind and high-energy radiation, and we will comment on their significance and limitations. We will also discuss new theoretical approaches for the future.
