Spatial arrangement of galaxies
Xi Kang
Abstract
Observations show that the location and orientation of galaxies in space are not random. From the Milky Way to the neighboring galaxies, from galaxy clusters to the large-scale structure of the universe, the location and spatial orientation of galaxies show a certain degree of correlation. What causes the correlation between the spatial arrangement of galaxies at different scales? How to obtain cosmological information from these correlations? This report will introduce and discuss these issues.
