Résumé :
Different types of observations suggest as realistic the
hypothesis of enrichement of galactic nuclei by mean of
massive globular clusters orbitally decayed and merged
in the inner regions of early type galaxies.
In this context, the scenario of globular cluster mergers
and subsequent formation of a dense stellar supercluster
in the center of a triaxial galaxy is presented and discussed,
together with its astrophysical implications, including
that of massive black hole feeding and accretion in the
center of a triaxial galaxy.
