Query: Cosmological Implications of Lyman-Break Galaxy Clustering   We review our analysis of the clustering properties of ``Lyman-break''
galaxies (LBGs) at redshift z~3, previously discussed in Wechsler et al (1998).
We examine the likelihood of spikes found by Steidel et al (1998) in the
redshift distribution of LBGs, within a suite of models for the evolution of
structure in the Universe. Using high-resolution dissipationless N-body
simulations, we analyze deep pencil-beam surveys from these models in the same
way that they are actually observed, identifying LBGs with the most massive
dark matter halos. We find that all the models (with SCDM as a marginal
exception) have a substantial probability of producing spikes similar to those
observed, because the massive halos are much more clumped than the underlying
matter -- i.e., they are biased. Therefore, the likelihood of such a spike is
not a good discriminator among these models. The LBG correlation functions are
less steep than galaxies today (gamma~1.4), but show similar or slightly longer
correlation lengths. We have extened this analysis and include a preliminary
comparison to the new data presented in Adelberger et al (1998). We also
discuss work in progress, in which we use semi-analytic models to identify
Lyman-break galaxies within dark-matter halos.
