Existing models of galaxy formation have not yet explained striking correlations between structure and star-formation activity in galaxies, notably the sloped and moving boundaries that divide star-forming from quenched galaxies in key structural diagrams. This paper uses these and other relations to ``reverse-engineer the quenching process for central galaxies. The basic idea is that star-forming galaxies with larger radii (at a given stellar mass) have lower black-hole masses due to lower central densities. Galaxies cross into the green valley when the cumulative effective energy radiated by their black hole equals $sim4times$ their halo-gas binding energy. Since larger-radii galaxies have smaller black holes, one finds they must evolve to higher stellar masses in order to meet this halo-energy criterion, which explains the sloping boundaries. A possible cause of radii differences among star-forming galaxies is halo concentration. The evolutionary tracks of star-forming galaxies are nearly parallel to the green-valley boundaries, and it is mainly the sideways motions of these boundaries with cosmic time that cause galaxies to quench. BH-scaling laws for star-forming, quenched, and green-valley galaxies are different, and most BH mass growth takes place in the green valley. Implications include: the radii of star-forming galaxies are an important second parameter in shaping their black holes; black holes are connected to their halos but in different ways for star-forming, quenched, and green-valley galaxies; and the same BH-halo quenching mechanism has been in place since $z sim 3$. We conclude with a discussion of black hole-galaxy co-evolution, the origin and interpretation of BH scaling laws.

We summarize the results from numerical simulations of mass outflows from AGN. We focus on simulations of outflows driven by radiation from large-scale inflows. We discuss the properties of these outflows in the context of the so-called AGN feedback
problem. Our main conclusion is that this type of outflows are efficient in removing matter but inefficient in removing energy.
Gravity is nearly a universal constant in the cusp of an NFW galaxy halo. Inside this external field an isothermal gas sphere will collapse and trigger a starburst if above a critical central pressure. Thus formed spheroidal stellar systems have Sers
ic-profile and satisfy the Faber-Jackson relation. The process is consistent with observed starbursts. We also recover the M_BH vs. velocity dispersion relation, if the gas collapse is regulated or resisted by the feedback from radiation from the central BH.
The discovery of a relationship between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and spiral arm pitch angle (P) is evidence that SMBHs are tied to the overall secular evolution of a galaxy. The discovery of SMBHs in late-type galaxies with little or no bu
lge suggests that an underlying correlation between the dark matter halo concentration and SMBH mass (MBH) exists, rather than between the bulge mass and MBH. In this paper we measure P using a two-dimensional fast fourier transform and estimate the bar pattern speeds of 40 barred spiral galaxies from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey. The pattern speeds were derived by estimating the gravitational potentials of our galaxies from Ks-band images and using them to produce dynamical simulation models. The pattern speeds allow us to identify those galaxies with low central dark halo densities, or fast rotating bars, while P provides an estimate of MBH. We find that a wide range of MBH exists in galaxies with low central dark matter halo densities, which appears to support other theoretical results. We also find that galaxies with low central dark halo densities appear to follow more predictable trends in P versus de Vaucouleurs morphological type (T) and bar strength versus T than barred galaxies in general. The empirical relationship between MBH and total gravitational mass of a galaxy (Mtot) allows us to predict the minimum Mtot that will be observationally measured of our fast bar galaxies. These predictions will be investigated in a subsequent paper.
We study the relations between the mass of the central black hole (BH) $M_{rm BH}$, the dark matter halo mass $M_{rm h}$, and the stellar-to-halo mass fraction $f_starpropto M_star/M_{rm h}$ in a sample of $55$ nearby galaxies with dynamically measur
ed $M_{rm BH}>10^6,{rm M}_odot$ and $M_{rm h}>5times10^{11},{rm M}_odot$. The main improvement with respect to previous studies is that we consider both early- and late-type systems for which $M_{rm h}$ is determined either from globular cluster dynamics or from spatially resolved rotation curves. Independently of their structural properties, galaxies in our sample build a well defined sequence in the $M_{rm BH}$-$M_{rm h}$-$f_star$ space. We find that: (i) $M_{rm h}$ and $M_{rm BH}$ strongly correlate with each other and anti-correlate with $f_star$; (ii) there is a break in the slope of the $M_{rm BH}$-$M_{rm h}$ relation at $M_{rm h}$ of $10^{12},{rm M}_odot$, and in the $f_star$-$M_{rm BH}$ relation at $M_{rm BH}$ of $sim10^7!-!10^8,{rm M}_odot$; (iii) at a fixed $M_{rm BH}$, galaxies with a larger $f_star$ tend to occupy lighter halos and to have later morphological types. We show that the observed trends can be reproduced by a simple equilibrium model in the $Lambda$CDM framework where galaxies smoothly accrete dark and baryonic matter at a cosmological rate, having their stellar and black hole build-up regulated both by the cooling of the available gas reservoir and by the negative feedback from star formation and active galactic nuclei (AGN). Feature (ii) arises as the BH population transits from a rapidly accreting phase to a more gentle and self-regulated growth, while scatter in the AGN feedback efficiency can account for feature (iii).
In the last decades several correlations between the mass of the central supermassive black hole (BH) and properties of the host galaxy - such as bulge luminosity and mass, central stellar velocity dispersion, Sersic index, spiral pitch angle etc. -
have been found and point at a coevolution scenario of BH and host galaxy. In this article, I review some of these relations for inactive galaxies and discuss the findings for galaxies that host an active galactic nucleus/quasar. I present the results of our group that finds that active galaxies at $zlesssim 0.1$ do not follow the BH mass - bulge luminosity relation. Furthermore, I show near-infrared integral-field spectroscopic data that suggest that young stellar populations cause the bulge overluminosity and indicate that the host galaxy growth started first. Finally, I discuss implications for the BH-host coevolution.
