Talk Title: Formation and evolution of massive black holes at redshift 1-3
Abstract: Improved methods for measuring black hole (BH) masses have been used to obtain the BH mass distribution and the M-vs-L relationship of luminous AGNs. The derived BH mass evolution is inconsistent with the accepted theory of galaxy evolution and suggests that the two populations evolved differently at redshifts 1-3. New results concerning the metalicity and accretion rate in the most luminous quasars can shade new light on the epoch of black hole formation.
