We investigate the evolution of galaxy clustering for galaxies in the redshift range 2.0<$z$<5.0 using the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS). We present the projected (real-space) two-point correlation function $w_p(r_p)$ measured by using…
High-resolution N-body simulations of four popular Cold Dark Matter cosmologies (LCDM, OCDM, QCDM, and tilted SCDM), each containing 10^5 clusters of galaxies in a cubic gigaparsec volume, are used to determine the evolution of the cluster…
We present the first cosmology results from large-scale structure in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) spanning 5000 deg$^2$. We perform an analysis combining three two-point correlation functions (3$\times$2pt): (i) cosmic shear using 100…
We present a clustering analysis of QSOs over the redshift range z=0.3-2.9. We use a sample of 10558 QSOs taken from the preliminary catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ). The two-point redshift-space correlation function of QSOs…
We have simulated the growth of structure in two 100 Mpc boxes for LCDM and SCDM universes. These N-body/SPH simulations include a gaseous component which is able to cool radiatively. A fraction of the gas cools into cold dense objects…
We discuss a method to constrain the intrinsic three-dimensionale shapes of galaxy clusters by combining X-Ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich observations. The method is applied to a sample of 25 X-Ray selected clusters, with measured…
Using the Ly$\alpha$ mass assignment scheme (LyMAS), we make theoretical predictions for the 3-dimensional 3-point correlation function (3PCF) of the Ly$\alpha$ forest at redshift $z=2.3$. We bootstrap results from the (100 $h^{-1} \mbox{…

We present constraints on the evolution of large-scale structure from a catalog of 710,000 galaxies with I_AB <= 24 derived from a KPNO 4m CCD imaging survey of a contiguous 4 deg x 4 deg region. The advantage of using large contiguous…
We present a new non-parametric method for determining mean 3D density and mass profiles from weak lensing measurements around stacked samples of galaxies or clusters, that is, from measurement of the galaxy-shear or cluster-shear…
We show that if a sample of galaxy clusters is complete above some mass threshold, then hierarchical clustering theories for structure formation predict its autocorrelation function to be determined purely by the cluster abundance and by…
Starting from first principles, we derive the fundamental equations that relate the $n$-point correlation functions in real and redshift space. Our result generalises the so-called `streaming model' to higher-order statistics: the full…
We examine the light-cone effect on the two-point correlation functions using numerical simulations for the first time. Specifically, we generate several sets of dark matter particle distributions on the light-cone up to z=0.4 and z=2 over…
It is known that radial collapse around density peaks can explain the key features of evolution of correlation function in gravitational clustering in three dimensions. The same model also makes specific predictions for two dimensions. In…

We report the measurement of the three-point correlation function (3PCF) of galaxies for the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS). We have not only measured the 3PCF in redshift space but also developed a method to measure the projected 3PCF…
The three-point correlation function (3PCF) can now be measured in large galaxy redshift surveys, but in three dimensions its interpretation is complicated by the presence of redshift-space distortions. I investigate the projected 3PCF,…
The clustering of galaxy clusters is a powerful cosmological tool, which can help to break degeneracies between parameters when combined with other cosmological observables. We aim to demonstrate its potential in constraining cosmological…
