Description
Beyond the observed proportionality between surface densities of molecular gas and
star formation, the efficiency of star formation varies significantly with
environment. I will review the situations where the star formation is triggered by
dynamical processes, such as bars or spirals, tidal interactions, ram-pressure
due to AGN feedback or in groups and clusters.
