Evidence is presented that the galaxy distribution can be described as a fractal system in the redshift range of the FDF galaxy survey. The fractal dimension $D$ was derived using the FDF galaxy volume number densities in the spatially homogeneous standard cosmological model with $Omega_{m_0}=0.3$, $Omega_{Lambda_0}=0.7$ and $H_0=70 ; mbox{km} ; {mbox{s}}^{-1} ; {mbox{Mpc}}^{-1}$. The ratio between the differential and integral number densities $gamma$ and $gamma^ast$ obtained from the red and blue FDF galaxies provides a direct method to estimate $D$, implying that $gamma$ and $gamma^ast$ vary as power-laws with the cosmological distances. The luminosity distance $d_{scriptscriptstyle L}$, galaxy area distance $d_{scriptscriptstyle G}$ and redshift distance $d_z$ were plotted against their respective number densities to calculate $D$ by linear fitting. It was found that the FDF galaxy distribution is characterized by two single fractal dimensions at successive distance ranges. Two straight lines were fitted to the data, whose slopes change at $z approx 1.3$ or $z approx 1.9$ depending on the chosen cosmological distance. The average fractal dimension calculated using $gamma^ast$ changes from $langle D rangle=1.4^{scriptscriptstyle +0.7}_{scriptscriptstyle -0.6}$ to $langle D rangle=0.5^{scriptscriptstyle +1.2}_{scriptscriptstyle -0.4}$ for all galaxies, and $D$ decreases as $z$ increases. Small values of $D$ at high $z$ mean that in the past galaxies were distributed much more sparsely and the large-scale galaxy structure was then possibly dominated by voids. Results of Iribarrem et al. (2014, arXiv:1401.6572) indicating similar fractal features with $langle D rangle =0.6 pm 0.1$ in the far-infrared sources of the Herschel/PACS evolutionary probe (PEP) at $1.5 lesssim z lesssim 3.2$ are also mentioned.
This paper seeks to test if the large-scale galaxy distribution can be characterized as a fractal system. Tools appropriate for describing galaxy fractal structures with a single fractal dimension $D$ in relativistic settings are developed and applie
We study the reduced skewness, $S_{3,g}equivbar{xi}_{3,g}/bar{xi}_{2,g}^2$ of galaxy distribution at $z=0.5$ in two families of modfied gravity models: the Hu-Sawicki $f(R)$-gravity and normal-branch of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (nDGP) models. We use a
It has been recently recognized that the observational relativistic effects, mainly arising from the light propagation in an inhomogeneous universe, induce the dipole asymmetry in the cross-correlation function of galaxies. In particular, the dipole
