Bjoern Malte Schaefer:

"Angular Momenta of Galaxies."

Abstract. Galaxies rotate - do they really? I present five arguments why galaxies should not rotate and then convince you of the opposite. I'll discuss angular momentum correlations in the cosmic large-scale structure, how they interfere with weak lensing measurements and some ways of investigating angular momentum correlations.
