Abstract: Near-infrared surveys have now determined the luminosity functions of galaxies at 610, but the bright galaxies accessible to observations decline much faster than the total. Deviations from our predictions would provide evidence for new astrophysics within the first generations of galaxies. We also provide predictions for galaxy measurements by future facilities, including JWST and WFIRST.<br />Comment: 19 pages, 12 figures, submitted to MNRAS
