Abstract

While the evolution of massive stars in the local Universe is dominated by mass-loss, the evolution of massive Population III stars should be dominated by rotation. An important effect of rotation is rotationally-induced chemical mixing that can dramatically change the stellar structure and the nucleosynthesis. This has significant consequences in the predicted explosion types of Population III stars.
