Multiscale Geometry and Analysis in High DimensionsMGA Workshop IV: Multiscale Geometric Methods in Astronomical Data AnalysisNovember 8 - 12, 2004Organizing Committee:
Vicent Martinez, Co-Chair
(University of Valencia, Spain)
Scientific BackgroundWith the recent advent of high quality large-scale catalogs of galaxies, we are in a position to test various hypotheses about galaxy formation and to compare the `standard models' such as lambda-CDM, with observations. In this direction, new multiscale tools for N-point correlation functions, for N-body problems, and for new-wave feature detection (e.g. of filaments and sheets), offer exciting opportunities. The goal of this workshop is to bring scientists from the astronomical community together with mathematicians to explore state-of-the-art methods and new challenges. Topics to be covered include:
