Abstract:
Primordial times host the birth of the first stars, galaxies and  
massive black holes and represent a crucial epoch for the understanding 
of currently known cosmological objects. State-of-the-art numerical 
simulations and up-to-date data will be employed to investigate the role 
of cosmic molecules and metals, early star formation, proto-galaxy 
assembly, as well as the formation path of early massive black holes. 
Results addressing the impacts of different assumptions for the  
background cosmological model and the nature of (cold vs. warm) dark 
matter will be presented to constrain the available parameter space and 
rule out non performing models.
