The space-borne missions CoRoT (2006-2014) and Kepler (2009) provided a lot of seismic data for thousands of low-mass stars. Data analysis enabled us to study the interior of these stars during their evolution and brought stringent constraints on the physical processes at work under their surface.These observations notably revealed that the mean core rotation rate of stars weakly increases on the subgiant branch before dropping on the red giant branch while their central layers are contracting.for several subgiant and red giant stars in which mixed modes could be detected. Subsequently, several works demonstrated the inability of the current stellar evolution codes to reproduce these observations and stressed out the need for an additional ...
