 Constant baryon conversion mapping of halo and stellar mass

If every counted halo hosts one counted galaxy and the baryon fraction and conversion efficiency are mass-independent without scatter, galactic stellar mass is a constant multiple of halo mass. The galaxy mass function is obtained by changing variable with $dM/d{M}_{\ast }=1/{ϵ}_{\ast }$. Satellites, efficiency variation and scatter prevent this mapping from being generally exact.
