dc.descriptionThe Minkowski functionals are a mathematical tool to quantify morphological features of patterns. Some applications to the matter distribution in galaxy catalogues and N-body simulations are reviewed, with an emphasis on the effects of cosmic variance. The conclusions are that (i) the observed large-scale morphology is sensitive to cosmic variance on scales much larger than the nonlinear length (approx. 8 Mpc/h), and (ii) the large-scale morphology predicted by simulations is thus affected by finite-size effects, but nonetheless a Lambda-CDM model is favored.
