Conclusions
The papers presented on magnetic cataclysmic variables at the workshop on ``Magnetic Fields and Accretion'' covered a wide range of topics which included; the magnetosphere- accretion stream interaction and mechanisms responsible for initiating funnel flow (``the magnetic levitation model''), the thermal structure of accretion funnels, predictions of the x-ray Fe line spectra of accretion shocks, and the origin of the quasi-periodic shock oscillations. As can be judged from the summaries of the relevant papers presented in this report, this is an area of research with many unsolved problems, and one which is likley to remain active for many years to come.Next Section: References
