 Multiscaling properties of large scale structure in the Universe
The large-scale distribution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the universe can
be described in the mathematical language of multifractal sets. A particularly
significant aspect of this description is that it furnishes a natural 
explanation for the observed differences in clustering properties of objects of 
different density in terms of multiscaling, the generic consequence of the 
application of alocal density threshold to a multifractal set.  The multiscaling
hypothesis suggests ways of improving upon the traditional statistical measures 
of clustering pattern (correlation functions) and exploring further the 
connection between clustering pattern and dynamics.
