  The results of numerical simulations are presented which demonstrate that
liquid mirror telescope galaxy redshift surveys such as the current UBC-NASA
Multi-Narrowband Survey and the future LZT Survey have the potential of
discriminating between the predictions of different theories of structure
formation. Most of the currently studied theories of structure formation
predict a scale-invariant spectrum of primordial perturbations. Therefore, to
distinguish between the predictions of the various models, we make use of
statistics which are sensitive to non-Gaussian phases, such as the counts in
cell statistics, N-galaxy probability functions and Minkowski functionals. It
is shown that already the current UBC-NASA survey can clearly differentiate
between the predictions of some topological defect theories and those of
inflationary Universe models with Gaussian phases.
