AbstractWe use the void probability statistics to study the redshift-space galaxy distribution as described by a volume-limited subsample of the Perseus-Pisces survey. We compare the results with the same analysis realized on artificial samples, extracted from high-resolution N-body simulations by reproducing the observational biases of the real data set. Simulations are run for the Cold+HotDM model (CHDM) and for unbiased and biased (b=1.5) CDM models in a 50 Mpc/h box. We identify galaxies as residing in peaks of the evolved density field. We fragment overmerged structures into individual galaxies so as to reproduce both the correct luminosity function (after assuming M/ L values for the resulting galaxy groups) and the two-point correlation function. Our main result is that a void-probability function (VPF) from the standard CHDM model with fractions 60% cold, 30% hot, 10% barions, exceeds the observational VPF with a high confidence level. CDM models produce smaller VPF independent of the biasing parameter. We verify the robustness of this result against changing the observer position in the simulations and the galaxy identification in the evolved density field.
