  - 'The first massive astrophysical black holes likely formed at high redshifts (z≳
    10) at the centers of low mass (~ 106 M⊙) dark matter concentrations. These black
    holes grow by mergers and gas accretion, evolve into the population of bright
    quasars observed at lower redshifts, and eventually leave the supermassive black
    hole remnants that are ubiquitous at the centers of galaxies in the nearby universe.
    The astrophysical processes responsible for the formation of the earliest seed
    black holes are poorly understood. The purpose of this review is threefold: (1)
    to describe theoretical expectations for the formation and growth of the earliest
    black holes within the general paradigm of hierarchical cold dark matter cosmologies,
    (2) to summarize several relevant recent observations that have implications for
    the formation of the earliest black holes, and (3) to look into the future and
    assess the power of forthcoming observations to probe the physics of the first
    active galactic nuclei.@eng'
