It is difficult to provide a comprehensive theoretical explanation for the activity of red dwarf stars. Among particular problems that are ripe for further investigation are: the production of steady, cyclic or irregular patterns of activity by nonlinear dynamo action in stars; the effect of magnetic buoyancy in producing photospheric magnetic fields; the formation of isolated flux tubes and their interaction with convection. These topics are discussed and some future lines of research are suggested.
