Abstract
In this talk, I review the different MHD processes, which take place in massive star interiors. First, I describe MHD instabilities, which act on magnetic fields in stellar radiation zones, and the dynamo action in massive stars that give strong indications in favor of a fossil origin of the fields observed at the surface of these stars. Then, I discuss the study of MHD turbulent relaxation processes, which are now examined in stellar interiors, to describe initial conditions for fossil magnetic fields. Finally, I focus on the state of the art of the modeling of the interaction between differential rotation, fossil magnetic field, meridional circulation, and turbulence.
