Coevolution of dark matter halos and black holes

Description
Summary:We investigate a model of the coevolution of black holes and dark matter halos. The evolution of dark matter halos is based on the Press-Schechter theory. Assuming a simple relation between dark matter halos and supermassive black holes enables us to reproduce both the observed evolving hard X-ray luminosity function and the X-ray background.
