The Soltan argument at redshift 6: UV-luminous quasars contribute less than 10% to early black hole mass growth by Knud Jahnke

“…We show that even under very conservative assumptions almost all growth of SMBH mass at $z>6$ does not take place in these UV-luminous quasars, but must occur in systems obscured through dust and/or with lower radiative efficiency than standard thin accretion disks. The 'Soltan argument' is not fulfilled by the known population of bright quasars at $z>6$: the integrated SMBH mass growth inferred from these largely unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the early Universe is by a factor $\ge$10 smaller than the total SMBH mass volume density at $z=6$. …”
