| 11 | | ABSTRACT |
| | 11 | I will describe two methods to establish the relationship |
| | 12 | between galaxies and dark matter. One is based the conditional |
| | 13 | luminosity function model, which links galaxies and dark matter halos |
| | 14 | by matching the number density and clustering properties of galaxies |
| | 15 | with those of dark matter halos in the current CDM model. The other |
| | 16 | is based on galaxy systems identified from large redshift surveys |
| | 17 | of galaxies. The galaxy - dark halo relationship established by |
| | 18 | these two methods matches well. The results provide important clue |
| | 19 | about how light traces mass in the universe and how galaxies form in |
| | 20 | the cosmic density field. |
