Description

Our understanding of the formation paths of stellar-mass and intermediate-mass black holes has drastically changed in recent years. In particular, the masses of black hole binaries observed in gravitational waves are challenging existing theories. In this talk I will discuss the main open questions and the prospects of answering them with multi-messenger observations.
