The Lyman-Werner radiation channel alone forms at most about 10^-4 heavy seeds per cMpc^3 at z ~ 10, probably too few to explain JWST's high-redshift black hole candidates.

Predicting the number density of heavy seed massive black holes due to an intense Lyman-Werner field
The Lyman-Werner radiation channel alone forms at most about 10^-4 heavy seeds per cMpc^3 at z ~ 10, probably too few to explain JWST's high-redshift black hole candidates.
