Observations of low frequency gravitational waves by the space-based LISAmission will open a new observational window on the early universe and theemergence of structure. LISA will observe the dynamical coalescence of massiveblack hole binaries at high redshifts, giving an unprecedented look at themerger history of galaxies and the reionization epoch. LISA will also observegravitational waves from the collapse of supermassive stars to form blackholes, and will map the spacetime in the central regions of galaxy cusps athigh precision.Comment: 10 pages, to appear in "The Emergence of Cosmic Structure," Proceedings of the 13th Annual Astrophysics Conference in Maryland, eds.
