In hierarchical clustering theories of galaxy formation, galaxies form by gas cooling and condensing into dark matter halos which, in turn, form by a hierarchy of mergers (White & Rees 1978). The context in which this process takes place is specified by a cosmological model that determines the spectrum of primordial density fluctuations and the rate at which they grow by gravitational instability. The best known example of such a model is the cold dark matter (CDM) model (see Frenk 1991 for a review), but a number of alternatives (mostly variants of CDM), have recently become popular in response to new data on large-scale structure and the COBE detection of anisotropies in the microwave background radiation.
