Interrelation of the environment of Ly$\alpha$ emitters and massive galaxies at $2<z<4.5$.

We present a comparison of the spatial distributions of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) and massive star-forming and quiescent galaxies (SFGs and QGs) at $2 -20$). From the overdensity distributions, LAEs are located in less dense regions than SFGs and QGs, whereas SFGs and QGs tend to be in the same overdensity distributions. The different spatial distributions of LAEs compared to those of massive galaxies may be attributed to assembly bias or large amounts of neutral hydrogen gas associated with massive halos. These results reinforce the importance of exploring multiple galaxy populations in quantifying the intrinsic galaxy environment of the high-$z$ universe.
