The evolution of galaxy clustering
Carlos Frenk (Durham)
In a recent major breakthrough, galaxies at redshift 3 have been measured
to be about as strongly clustered as galaxies in the local universe. Strong
clustering at high redshift was predicted nearly fifteen years ago when the
first models of biased galaxy formation in a cold dark matter universe were
formulated. Using a combination of semi-analytic modelling of galaxy
formation and large N-body simulations, I will discuss how galaxy
clustering is expected to evolve with time and how detailed theoretical
predictions fare when compared with recent data.
