Supermassive Black Holes, Large Scale Structure and Holography

ABSTRACT
A holographic analysis of large scale structure in the universe
provides an upper bound on the mass of supermassive black holes at the center
of large scale structures with matter density varying as 
as a function of
distance r from their
center. The upper bound is consistent with two important test cases involving
observations of the supermassive black hole with mass 
times the galactic mass in Sagittarius A* near the center of our Milky Way and the 2 × 109 solar mass black hole in the quasar ULAS J112001.48 + 064124.3
at redshift z = 7.085. It is also
consistent with upper bounds on central black hole masses in globular clusters
M15, M19 and M22 developed using the Jansky Very Large Array in New Mexico.
