Is it possible for a cloud of gass to condense around a black hole and for fusion to start? Or another way to ask. Is it possible for a star to have a black hole at it's center?

The process of a black hole giving birth to a star is known as black hole star formation. When a black hole has consumed enough matter and reached a certain mass, it can begin to emit powerful jets of gas and radiation. These jets can compress nearby gas and dust, triggering the formation of new stars.
Yes, black holes can give birth to multiple stars at once. This process occurs in regions of the universe with high levels of gas and dust, such as in the centers of galaxies. The intense gravitational pull of a black hole can cause large amounts of gas and dust to collapse and form multiple stars simultaneously.
The exact timing of a black hole giving birth to a star can vary, but it typically takes millions of years. This is because the process requires the black hole to consume a significant amount of matter and then for that matter to be compressed and ignited into a new star.
After a black hole gives birth to a star, it will continue to exist and potentially continue to grow in mass through consuming nearby matter. The newly formed star, along with any other stars that may have been formed, will orbit around the black hole, much like planets orbit around a star.
Black hole star formation is not considered a common occurrence in the universe. It typically occurs in regions with high levels of gas and dust, such as in the centers of galaxies. However, this process is still being studied and it is possible that there are other mechanisms for star formation that we have yet to discover.
