Description

Using general relativity, we study the equilibirum and stability of stars with
quasi-spherical symmetry involving random transverse magnetic fields (RTMF)
within an extremely wide mass range including magnetized supermassive stars
of millions or ten millions of solar masses. Among others, such magnetized
massive stars in proper mass ranges would most likely be the progenitors of
black holes within the forbidden mass zone as reported by several LIGO/Virgo
observations due to the suppression of electron-positron pair instabilities and
would also be the progenitors of magnetars by empirical reasoning. Separately,
we present the study on self-similar dynamic formation of hypermassive black
holes (HMBHs -- 10 to 1000 billion solar masses or even higher) and supermassive
black holes (SMBHs -- millions to billions of solar masses) within giant mass
reservoirs in the Universe including the early universe. Pertinent observations
and analyses are discussed.
