Abstract

Scaling arguments have suggested the hierarchical form of galaxy N-point correlation functions, kappa/sub N/ = Q/sub N/xi/sup N/-1, where xi is the two-point function, but such arguments are inherently unable to predict the amplitudes Q/sub N/. Assuming this form, substituting in the BBGKY hierarchy, and using graph theory combinatories, I find amplitudes Q/sub N/ = (4Q/N)/sup N/-2N/(2N-2), where Q is the reduced three-point amplitude. As an application, I compute the probability of large void regions in the hierarchical picture.
