| Abstract: |
In this UP2010 conference introduction,
I discuss the various models of high-mass star formation with a view towards
the physics by which the upper IMF and the upper mass limit
would be determined in each model. I also list some of the fundamental
questions regarding the upper end of the IMF and make some suggestions
for observational searches for significant upper IMF variations. |
