Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical models and recent findings on environmental effects in galaxy evolution, highlighting open issues.
Findings
Physical processes depend on environment and timescales.
Hierarchical models incorporate environmental effects.
Recent results identify key open questions.
Abstract
In this review, I provide an overview of theoretical aspects related to the evolution of galaxies as a function of environment. I discuss the main physical processes at play, their characteristic time-scales and environmental dependency, and comment on their treatment in the framework of hierarchical galaxy formation models. I briefly summarize recent results and the main open issues.
