<div>Abstract</div>
<div><br>
The main feature of the spatial large-scale galaxy
distribution is its intricate network of galaxy filaments.
This network is spanned by the galaxy locations that can be
interpreted as a three-dimensional point distribution. In my
talk I give an overview about an object point process with
interactions (the Bisous model) to trace and extract the
filamentary network. This method works directly on the galaxy
distribution and does not require any additional smoothing, it
only requires fixing the scale of structures. The main
advantage of our method is in its probabilistic nature. I give
an example, how single realisations of the model are sensitive
to noise (observational uncertainties and small number
densities of galaxies). Still, averaging many realisations
reduces the noise influence, and allows computation of robust
statistical quantities.<br>
<br>
Our filament finder (the Bisous model) is probabilistic in the
sense that it gives us the filament detection probability
field together with the filament orientation field. Using
these two fields, we define the spines of the filaments and
extract single filaments from the data. To trace and extract
the filamentary network, we applied our model to the presently
largest galaxy redshift survey, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
(SDSS). We divided the detected network into single filaments
and constructed a catalogue of filaments. In my talk, I give
an overview about the detected filaments in the SDSS and
present some basic properties (e.g. length distribution,
radial profiles) of filaments.<br>
<br>
Using the SDSS filaments, we have studied the correlation
between galaxy spin axes and filament spines. I give an brief
overview, how filaments affect the orientation of galaxy spin
axes.</div>
