Title: Cloning the Hubble Deep Field: a model-independent measurement of galaxy evolution

Speaker: Tom Broadhurst (UC Berkeley)

Abstract:
	Presented are model-independent realizations of the local 
Universe out to arbitrary redshift. Comparisons with the 
faint HDF counts, sizes and the "drop-out" rates 
demonstrates that distant galaxies are intrinsically smaller and 
more numerous than locally, consistent with the general 
picture of heirarchical growth on small scales. We examine the forest 
depressed z>4 galaxy population in some detail and describe the properties
of a highly magnified example at z=4.04.
