The Cosmic Web: concept, skeleton, connectivity
Event Start:

Event End:

Event Information:
The observed distribution of matter and galaxies in the Universe is not random, but composed of clusters, connected by filaments and sheets. How do we understand the formation and evolution of these structures? I will review the concept of the Cosmic Web, which lies behind our understanding of the filamentary nature of the matter distribution at large scales - how it can be described geometrically, and some of its most basic properties, using simple mathematical modelling and physical analogies.
