We present an analysis of the evolution of galaxy clustering in the redshift interval 0<z<4.5 in the HDF-S. The HST optical data are combined with infrared ISAAC/VLT observations, and photometric redshifts are used for all the galaxies…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author becouse the conjecture presented in this paper is false. The correct study of metrics in interpolation spaces for and applcation to nonharmonic Fourier series will be published in S.Petersburg…
We use the observed evolution of the galaxy cluster X-ray integral temperature distribution function between z=0.05 and z=0.32 in an attempt to constrain the value of the density parameter, Omega_0, for both open and spatially-flat…
In recent years, the availability of large, complete cluster samples has enabled numerous cosmological parameter inference analyses using cluster number counts. These have provided constraints on the cosmic matter density $\Omega_m$ and the…

We discuss the problem of galaxy correlations by considering the various methods by which this information can be obtained. We focus in particular on the volume limited three dimensional samples and discuss a new way to increase the scale…
In this Chapter I review the role that galaxy clusters play as tools to constrain cosmological parameters. I will concentrate mostly on the application of the mass function of galaxy clusters, while other methods, such as that based on the…
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to numerical problems to get viable results.
In the near future a new generation of CCD based galaxy surveys will enable high precision determination of the N-point correlation functions. The resulting information will help to resolve the ambiguities associated with two-point…
We report weak-lensing masses for 51 of the most X-ray luminous galaxy clusters known. This cluster sample, introduced earlier in this series of papers, spans redshifts 0.15 < z_cl < 0.7, and is well suited to calibrate mass proxies for…
This paper has been withdrawn, because the argument for generation of Goldstone modes is incorrect.
As part of on an extensive data mining effort, we have compiled a database of 162 Galactic rotation speed measurements at $R_0$ (the solar Galactocentric distance), $\Theta_0$. Published between 1927 and 2017 June, this represents the most…
This paper has been withdrawn due to a copyright restrictions.
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors. We have discovered an error in the evaluation of the diagram, which invalidates our conclusion.
Model-independent parametrisations of modified gravity have attracted a lot of attention over the past few years; numerous combinations of experiments and observables have been suggested to constrain these parameterisations, and future…
The paper was withdrawn by the authors since it has not been reviewed and approved by an official body within the collaboration.
Values of the Hubble constant reported to date which are based on measurement of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect in clusters of galaxies are systematically lower than those derived by other methods (e.g., Cepheid variable stars, or the…
The bias in the determination of the Hubble parameter and the Hubble constant in the modern Universe is discussed. It could appear due to statistical processing of data on galaxies redshifts and estimated distances based on some statistical…
We reconsider calibration of statistical distance scales for planetary nebulae, examining precision and systematic error for various distance methods used as well as the scales themselves. A different calibration strategy, one based on…
Two sources of geometric information are encoded in the galaxy power spectrum: the sound horizon at recombination and the horizon at matter-radiation equality. Analyzing the BOSS DR12 galaxy power spectra using perturbation theory with…
