Abstract

By comparing galaxy formation models within the ACDM cosmology with available data on high redshift galaxies, we show that small galaxies , with stellar masses < 1011 M, are formed too early, are too passive since z ̃ 3 and too old at z = 0. This is due to an overproduction of small galaxies at high redshift, visible also as an excess of ZAB ̃ 27 V-dropouts. We discuss the consequences of this excess.
