Oleg KARPENKOV (Poncelet laboratory, Moscow): Energies of knots and of certain graphs . Energies of knots are functionals on the space of smooth or piecewise smooth knots, this depends on the type of energy. We consider the best-known energies of knots: Mobius energy, energy of osculating circles and some other energy functionals, and also we present a new Mm-energy of a knot. ... The described approach can be generalized to the case of graphs for some special types of energies. ...

... Clustering of AGN and QSOs at z=1 . Using galaxies from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey and AGN from the AEGIS/Chandra survey and QSOs from SDSS, I present the cross-correlation function of AGN/QSOs and 'normal' galaxies at z=1. Using the known clustering of DEEP2 galaxies, this leads to an estimate of the bias and typical host dark matter halo mass of AGN/QSOs as a function of X-ray luminosity, which constrains AGN formation models. oral . ... Tuesday: AGN correlation functions, LSS, environments . ...
