Title: The Stellar Initial Mass Function at the Epoch of Reionization Author(s): Ranga Ram Chary Abstract: I use a combination of the Spitzer measured stellar mass density in z ~ 6 galaxies with the WMAP measured tau to constrain the galaxy luminosity function and stellar initial mass function between 6 < z< 20. I discuss constraints on the reionization history that these observations provide and present techniques through which we can distinguish between these reionization scenarios.
