Title:Large Scale Structure and Galaxy Evolution

Abstract:Extensive observations at redshift less than 3 have clearly demonstrated the most signicant role played by large scale structure environment in speeding the formation of the first galaxies.I will describe these key data from the COSMOS survey showing both the evolution of large scale structures and environmentally correlated galaxy evolution with detail comparison with the expectations of cosmological simulations.
