It was previously shown that rate of the star’s period increase is few orders of magnitude larger than the rates expected from the evolutionary changes of the angular momentum or due to magnetic braking. Also no secular changes were detected in the surface structure or visibility of chemical spots which are responsible for the rotational modulation of stellar brightness. We hypothesise that period changes in 56 Ari are caused by the drift of surface magnetic and associated abundance structures as a result of the kink-type (Tayler) instability of the background magnetic field in the radiative zone of the star. Results of the numerical simulation presented in the paper yield growth and drift rates of the most rapidly developing non-axisymmetric mode of the instability, consistent with the observed rate of period changes in 56 Ari. The surface geometry of the 56 Ari magnetic field is also reproduces in the calculations. The proposed mechanism may also be used to explain the character of period changes in other Ap/Bp stars demonstrating such an effect.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Работа посвящена поиску физического механизма, ответственного за изменения фотометрического периода у химически пекулярной звезды 56 Ari. Ранее было показано, что наблюдаемое у звезды увеличение периода по своей скорости на несколько порядков превосходит величины, ожидаемые в случае эволюционного изменения углового момента, а также в результате магнитного торможения. Отсутствуют также вековые изменения в поверхностной структуре и в условиях видимости химических пятен, обеспечивающих вращательную модуляцию блеска звезды. Мы предполагаем, что изменения периода 56 Ari обусловлены дрейфом поверхностных магнитных структур и связанных с ними химических пятен в результате изгибной (Тейлеровской) неустойчивости фонового магнитного поля в лучистой зоне звезды. Результаты численного моделирования, представленные в статье, дают скорости роста и дрейфа наиболее быстро растущей неосесимметричной моды неустойчивости, согласующиеся с наблюдаемой скоростью изменения периода 56 Ari. Модель также воспроизводит поверхностную геометрию магнитного поля звезды. Предложенный механизм может быть использован для объяснения направления и характера изменений периодов также и у других Ap/Bp звезд, демонстрирующих этот эффект.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>56 Ari</kwd><kwd>Ap/Bp stars</kwd><kwd>56 Ari</kwd><kwd>stellar rotation</kwd><kwd>magnetic field</kwd><kwd>Tayler instability</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Ap/Bp звезды</kwd><kwd>вращение</kwd><kwd>магнитное поле</kwd><kwd>неустойчивость Тейлера</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>D.W.N.
