High-redshift JWST massive galaxies and the initial clustering of supermassive primordial black holes

HL Huang, JQ Jiang, YS Piao - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this paper, we show that the initial clustering of supermassive primordial black holes
(SMPBHs) beyond a Poisson distribution can efficiently enhance the matter power spectrum …
