After some general remarks on the dynamical evolution of the galactic disk, we review mechanisms which may affect the velocities of disk stars: stochastic heating, deflections, adiabatic cooling or heating. We compare the observed velocities of nearby disk stars with theoretical predictions based on the diffusion of stellar orbits.
