Description

Recent work on the formation of the first dark matter halos suggests they may have had systematically different density profiles, with stronger cusps and higher densities than those predicted at low redshift. I will review recent work on the first generation(s) of dark matter halos, and discuss the implications for dark matter annihilation and structure formation in general.
