Abstract
Accretion discs around supermassive black holes provide a model explaining observed properties of quasars and other active galactic nuclei. Theory of accretion discs now undergoes substantial progress and changes. This review describes new understanding of thermal equilibria of black hole accretion discs.Keywords
