    The surprising abundance and properties of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed at high redshifts have opened a new window into the interplay between cosmology and dark matter physics. While explaining how SMBHs are assembled within the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang remains a major challenge, an attractive route is the direct collapse of pristine, metal-free gas...
