TL;DR
This paper reviews the cosmological evolution of galaxies, focusing on growth mechanisms, feedback processes, high-redshift properties, and central dynamics influencing black hole formation.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of galaxy growth theories, including merger-driven and cold accretion models, and discusses their implications for galaxy and black hole evolution.
Findings
Discussion of angular momentum challenges in galaxy formation
Analysis of high-redshift galaxy properties
Evaluation of feedback mechanisms in galaxy evolution
Abstract
I review the subject of the cosmological evolution of galaxies, including different aspects of growth in disk galaxies, by focussing on the angular momentum problem, mergers, and their by-products. I discuss the alternative to merger-driven growth -- cold accretion and related issues. In the follow-up, I review possible feedback mechanisms and their role in galaxy evolution. Special attention is paid to high-redshift galaxies and their properties. In the next step, I discuss a number of processes, gas- and stellar-dynamical, within the central kiloparsec of disk galaxies, and their effect on the larger spatial scales, as well as on the formation and fuelling of the seed black holes in galactic centres at high redshifts.
