In order to clarify the physics of AGN feedback and feeding, we need to understand the interstellar medium (ISM) in the central several tens of parsecs in galaxies where our observational and theoretical knowledge is relatively poor. Here we discuss feedback processes due to strong far UV and X-ray radiation, as well as the dynamical effect of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) based on new high-resolution numerical simulations of the ISM in the central R ≤ 32 pc region around a SMBH at the center of a galaxy.
