Evolution of self-gravitating magnetized disks. I. Axisymmetric simulations

In this paper and a companion work, we report on the first global numerical simulations of self-gravitating magnetized tori, subject in particular to the influence of the magnetorotational instability (MRI). In this work, Paper I, we restrict our calculations to the study of the axisymmetric evoluti...
