Repopulating the pair-instability mass gap without sustained growth to massive IMBHs: the case of 47\,Tuc
Simulations of 47 Tuc show hierarchical mergers and occasional surviving primordial seeds above the pair-instability gap produce retained black holes of 45-1100 solar masses with distinct spin distributions, favoring a dark-remnant population over a single massive IMBH while remaining consistent the
