Description
Galaxies are known to be good but biased tracers of the underlying dark
matter field, and the relations between galaxy physical
properties and the dark cosmic web are not easy to model. At
the same time, all cosmological tests are necessarily based on baryonic
tracers - usually related to galaxies. In my talk, I will show recent results from our group
illustrating nontrivial dependencies between galaxy evolution, large scale structure
and cosmology, and discuss prospects - and pitfalls - with the
data from near-future large sky surveys.
