Abstract:The conditions for the fragmentation of the baryonic component during mergers of dark matter halos in the early Universe are studied. We assume that the baryonic component undergoes a shock compression. The characteristic masses of protostellar molecular clouds and the minimum masses of protostars originating in these clouds decrease with increasing halo mass. This may indicate that the initial stellar mass function in more massive galaxies was shifted towards lower masses during the initial stages of their formation. This would result in an increase in the number of stars per unit mass of the halo, i.e., in an increase in the efficiency of star formation.
