Abstract

Galaxy evolution is probably a complex process. Mergers, infall, and starbursts may change galaxy properties systematically with time. As a result, the interpretation of the luminosity function is ambiguous, and information on the mass evolution of galaxies is needed. Such information can be retrieved from the evolution of the Tully-Fisher relation, Faber-Jackson relation, or the Fundamental Plane with redshift.
