The mass of the central supermassive black hole of a galaxy and the inferred mass of its dark matter halo (and the total mass of a galaxy) are correlated, although not terribly tightly.
Some of the scatter in the relationship may be due to measurement error as central supermassive black hole mass, inferred dark matter halo mass, and galaxy total mass are all challenging to measure.

I wonder if SMBHs are dark matter, and have some sort of non-local gravitational effect. Or are a manifestation of some sort of non-local gravity effect from the galaxy.
