Studies of large-scale structures in the Universe, such as superstructures or cosmic voids, have been widely used to characterize the properties of the cosmic web through statistical analyses. On the other hand, the 2-point correlation…
We investigate how the shape of the galaxy two-point correlation function as measured in the zCOSMOS survey depends on local environment, quantified in terms of the density contrast on scales of 5 Mpc/h. We show that the flat shape…

We measure the projected correlation function w_p(r_p) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey for a flux-limited sample of 118,000 galaxies and for a volume limited subset of 22,000 galaxies with absolute magnitude M_r<-21. Both correlation…
We consider a recently proposed model in which dark matter interacts with a thermal background of dark radiation. Dark radiation consists of relativistic degrees of freedom which allow larger values of the expansion rate of the universe…
We discover that the mass of dark matter particles mDM is imprinted in phase-correlations of the cosmic density field more significantly than in the 2-point correlation. In particular, phase-correlations trace mDM out to scales about five…
We study the clustering of galaxies in real and redshift space using the Optical Redshift Survey (ORS). We estimate the two point correlation function in redshift space, $\xi(s)$, for several subsamples of ORS, spanning nearly a factor of…

The evolution of halos consisting of weakly self-interacting dark matter particles is investigated using a new numerical Monte-Carlo N-body method. The halos initially contain kinematically cold, dense 1/r-power-law cores. For interaction…
We measured the bias and correlation factor of galaxies with respect to the dark matter using the aperture statistics including the aperture mass from weak gravitational lensing. The analysis was performed for three galaxy samples selected…
We have measured the correlation between the lensing signal induced by (dark) matter and number counts of galaxies on scales ranging from 0.15-3.0 h_{50}^{-1} Mpc (which correspond to aperture radii of 1-15 arcminutes). This provides a…
Techniques for inferring the radial and geometric form of dark matter halos and the results they have produced to date are reviewed. Dark halos appear to extend to at least ~50 kpc with total enclosed masses that rise linearly with radius…
