Description
We discuss the role of ultralight dark matter (ULDM) in the formation and merger of supermassive black holes. ULDM can trigger direct-collapse SMBH seeds in the early Universe, potentially explaining the recently observed Little Red Dots, and resolve the final parsec problem through wave dynamical friction, leading to efficient SMBH mergers and potentially observable gravitational-wave signals.
