Direct collapse black holes born at z=25.7 grow at half-Eddington rate to produce overmassive black hole galaxies at z~10 with M_BH/M_* ~0.01, matching JWST observations of GN-z11, UHZ1, and GHZ9 through initial star-formation suppression and later Pop III supernova metal blowout.

Lenient heavy-seed models in BRAHMA simulations produce black hole merger rates above 100 per year and near-unity occupation fractions down to low-mass galaxies, while strict models yield only about 1 merger per year and occupation fractions below 10 percent for galaxies under 10^8 solar masses.
Simulations show heavy-seed formation with BH-BH mergers or Bondi accretion under weak feedback can assemble 10^6-10^7 solar mass black holes at z greater than or equal to 9.
Super-Eddington accretion boosts predicted LISA detections of high-redshift black hole binaries to ~64 per year while dropping ET detections to ~4 per year, compared to ~32 and ~64 under Eddington-limited growth.

How Overmassive Black Holes Formed at Cosmic Dawn
Direct collapse black holes born at z=25.7 grow at half-Eddington rate to produce overmassive black hole galaxies at z~10 with M_BH/M_* ~0.01, matching JWST observations of GN-z11, UHZ1, and GHZ9 through initial star-formation suppression and later Pop III supernova metal blowout.
