  We have examined the correlations between the large-scale environment of
galaxies and their physical properties, using a sample of 28,354 nearby
galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the large-scale tidal
field reconstructed in real space from the 2Mass Redshift Survey and smoothed
over a radius of $\sim 6 h^{-1}$Mpc. The large-scale environment is expressed
in terms of the overdensity, the ellipticity of the shear and the type of the
large-scale structure. The physical properties analyzed include $r$-band
absolute magnitude $M_{^{0.1}r}$, stellar mass $M_\ast$, $g-r$ colour,
concentration parameter $R_{90}/R_{50}$ and surface stellar mass density
$\mu_\ast$.
  Both luminosity and stellar mass are found to be statistically linked to the
large-scale environment, regardless of how the environment is quantified. More
luminous (massive) galaxies reside preferentially in the regions with higher
densities, lower ellipticities and halo-like structures. At fixed luminosity,
the large-scale overdensity depends strongly on parameters related to the
recent star formation history, that is colour and D(4000), but is almost
independent of the structural parameters $R_{90}/R_{50}$ and $\mu_\ast$. All
the physical properties are statistically linked to the shear of the
large-scale environment even when the large-scale density is constrained to a
narrow range. This statistical link has been found to be most significant in
the quasi-linear regions where the large-scale density approximates to an order
of unity, but no longer significant in highly nonlinear regimes with
$\delta_{\rm LS}\gg 1$.
