Polarized light in the vicinity of supermassive black holes

Relativistic jets produced by supermassive black holes are the most energetic astrophysical objects known and can be observed up to enormous distances and very early ages in the universe. This lecture will focus on these objects, and more specifically on their main characteristics and the extra information provided by studying the polarized light they emit, as well as the main questions that remain to be answered to fully understand them.
