Self-consistent spherical accretion simulations show cooling-enhanced growth of PBHs with radiative efficiency ~10^{-2} in the bremsstrahlung regime, yielding a critical seed mass of ~10^{-16} M_sun to consume a solar-mass star in a Hubble time.

Self-gravitating disks heated by stars reach a universal optical effective temperature of 4000-4500 K independent of accretion rate, black hole mass, and viscosity, explaining Little Red Dots.
LRDs are interpreted as high-inclination hyper-Eddington accreting SMBHs analogous to SS 433, with V-shaped SEDs, X-ray weakness, and Balmer breaks emerging from disk self-shielding geometry.
Migration traps concentrate stellar-mass black holes in AGN disks, generating self-regulated magnetic reconnection heating that yields excess short-timescale optical/UV variability, flattened structure functions, and deviations from the τ∝λ^{4/3} lag relation.

Migration Traps as Variability Attractors: Optical/UV Signatures of Embedded Stellar-Mass Black Holes in Active Galactic Nucleus Disks
Migration traps concentrate stellar-mass black holes in AGN disks, generating self-regulated magnetic reconnection heating that yields excess short-timescale optical/UV variability, flattened structure functions, and deviations from the τ∝λ^{4/3} lag relation.
