Abstract I give a review of catalogues of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and superclusters – sources of information to study the large-scale structure of the Universe. Thereafter I shall discuss the power spectrum of density perturbations, and the correlation function – principal description functions which characterize the large-scale structure. I shall pay special attention to the geometric interpretation of these functions, i.e. to the way in which the various properties of the distribution of galaxies in systems and systems themselves are reflected in these functions. Finally, I discuss cosmological parameters which characterize general properties of the Universe – the Hubble constant, densities of various populations of the Universe, and parameters of the power spectrum of galaxies and matter.

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI. Testing the Black Hole Metric (2022, neutral): “Tests of gravity with black holes benefit from a remarkable general relativistic prediction encapsulated in the so-called nohair theorem: the only vacuum spacetime that is stationary, is axisymmetric, is asymptotically flat, contains a horizon, and is free of pathologies is the one described by the ”
Efficient Simulations of Early Structure Formation and Reionization (2007, methodology): “In principle, one could obtain non-linear velocities by mapping the linear overdensity to a corresponding nonlinear overdensity obtained from a spherical collapse model (Mo & White 1996), and then taking the time derivative of the non-linear overdensity.”
Halo occupation numbers and galaxy bias (2000, methodology): “Klypin, Primack & Holtzman 1996; Peacock 1997; Jenkins et al. 1998). Allowing the galaxy density to be any local function of the mass density does not remove this problem (Coles 1993; Mann, Peacock & Heavens 1998). It may well be that CDM models are not a good description of reality, but the problem”
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: the LRG 2-point correlation function and redshift-space distortions (2006, methodology): “The 2dFGRS is a blue, bJ selected survey of generally ∼ L galaxies. However, in Norberg et al. (2002), the sample is segrega ted by luminosity and spectral type, the latter governed by the η parameter (Madgwick et al.”
Structure and flexibility: Investigating the relation between the structure of the mental lexicon, fluid intelligence, and creative achievement. (2016, methodology): “In the linguistic domain, lexicons of different languages display SWN characteristics, considered to be a fundamental principle in lexical organization (Borge-Holthoefer & Arenas, 2010; De Deyne & Storms, 2008; Kenett et al., 2011; Steyvers & Tenenbaum, 2005).”
PRIMORDIAL NON-GAUSSIANITY, SCALE-DEPENDENT BIAS, AND THE BISPECTRUM OF GALAXIES (2009, background): “As B m and the non-linear bias term contain products of PR(k1)PR(k2) and the cyclic terms, it is often more convenient to deal with Qh(k1, k2, k3) given by (Peebles 1980)”
Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, background): “In the linguistic domain, lexicons of different languages seem to display SWN characteristics, considered to be a fundamental principle in lexical organization (Steyvers and Tenenbaum, 2005; De-Deyne and Storms, 2008a,b; Borge-Holthoefer and Arenas, 2010; Kenett et al., 2011).”
Modelling the anisotropic two-point galaxy correlation function on small scales and single-probe measurements of H(z), DA(z) and f(z)σ8(z) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 luminous red galaxies (2012, methodology): “5m telescope (Fukugita et al. 1996; Gunn et al. 1998, 2006). We use the public catalog, the N YU Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (VAGC) (Blanton et al. 2005), de rived from the SDSS II final public data release, Data Release 7 (DR7) (Abazajian et al. 2009). We select our LRG sample from the NYU VAGC with”
Large-Scale Galaxy Bias (2016, background): “The connection between the clustering of galaxies on large scales and the statistics of the initial conditions has been studied since the 1980s, including the seminal papers [474, 475, 370, 476, 477, 478] (see also [64] for an overview).”
Primordial non-Gaussianities in single-field inflation (2005, neutral): “Instead, observational limits are set on a parameter fNL [48, 49], which measures the departure from Gaussianity of the gravitational potential.”

(2009) but to our know ledge Macciò et al. (2004) is the only work to date focusing on the properties of nonlinear structures in mode”
