Supermassive black holes from primordial black hole seeds

The observational evidence for a population of quasars powered by supermassive black holes of mass $\ensuremath{\gtrsim}{10}^{9}{M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ at redshifts $z\ensuremath{\gtrsim}6$ poses a great challenge for any model describing the formation of galaxies. Assuming uninterrupted acc…
