Abstract
An increase in solar activity is shown to be accompanied by a decrease in solar rotation rate. This effect has been established from various indices; it manifests itself as cyclic and secular variations in the global magnetic field, in the observations of the magnetic field of the Sun as a star, and in the observations of the solar corona. Some possible explanations of this effect are discussed.
