Abstract
The great diversity of extrasolar planetary systems has challenged our
understanding of how planets form, and how their orbits evolve as they form.
Among the various processes that may account for this diversity, the
gravitational interaction between planets and their parent protoplanetary disc
plays a prominent role in shaping young planetary systems. Planet-disc forces
are large, and the characteristic times for the evolution of planets orbital
elements are much shorter than the lifetime of protoplanetary discs. The
determination of such forces is challenging, because it involves many physical
mechanisms and it requires a detailed knowledge of the disc structure. Yet, the
intense research of the past few years, with the exploration of many new
avenues, represents a very significant improvement on the state of the
discipline. This chapter reviews current understanding of planet-disc
interactions, and highlights their role in setting the properties and
architecture of observed planetary systems.
