Scientific paper

Star formation in galaxies has been suggested to depend on large-scale gravitational instability or on the pressure required to form molecular hydrogen. I present numerical models and analysis of observations in support of the gravitational instability hypothesis. I also consider whether the correlation between the surface densities of molecular hydrogen and star formation implies causation, and if so in which direction.
