Dark Matter's Role in Early Black Hole Formation

This paper addresses the challenge of explaining the early appearance of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed by JWST. It proposes a novel mechanism where dark matter (DM) interacts with Population III stars, causing them to collapse into black hole seeds. This offers a potential solution to the SMBH formation problem and suggests testable predictions for future experiments and observations.

• •Proposes a new mechanism for SMBH formation at high redshifts.
• •Involves dark matter interactions within Population III stars.
• •Predicts testable signatures for direct detection experiments and gravitational wave observatories (LISA, PTA).
• •Addresses the challenge of early SMBH observations by JWST.
