Constraints on Cosmological Coupling from the Accretion History of Supermassive Black Holes

Coupling of black hole mass to the cosmic expansion has been suggested as a possible path to understanding the dark energy content of the Universe. We test this hypothesis by comparing the supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass density at z = 0 to the total mass accreted in active galactic nuclei (AGN)...
