We present the redshift evolution of the restframe galaxy luminosity function (LF) in the red r′; i′; and z′ bands; as derived from the FORS Deep Field (FDF); thus extending our earlier results to longer wavelengths. Using the deep and homogeneous I-band selected dataset of the FDF; we were able to follow the red LFs over the redshift range 0.5 spec + 1) &le 0.03 with only ∼ 1% outliers. A comparison with results from the literature shows the reliability of the derived LFs. Because of the depth of the FDF; we can give relatively tight constraints on the faint-end slope α of the LF; the faint-end of the red LFs does not show a large redshift evolution and is compatible within 1σ to 2σ with a constant slope over the redshift range 0.5 z 2.0. Moreover; the slopes in r′; and z′ are very similar to a best-fitting value of α = - 1.33 ± 0.03 for the combined bands. There is a clear trend of α to steepen with increasing wavelength: α UV&u′ = - 1.07 ± 0.04 &rarr α g′&B = - 1.25 ± 0.03 &rarr α r′&i′&z′ = - 1.33 ± 0.03. We subdivided our galaxy sample into four SED types and determined the contribution of a typical SED type to the overall LF. We show that the wavelength dependence of the LF slope can be explained by the relative contribution of different SED-type LFs to the overall LF; as different SED types dominate the LF in the blue and red bands. Furthermore we also derived and analyzed the luminosity density evolution of the different SED types up to z ∼ 2. We investigated the evolution of M* and Φ* by means of the redshift parametrization M*(z) = M0* + a ln (1 + z) and Φ*(z) = Φ0*(1 + z)b. Based on the FDF data; we found only a mild brightening of M* (ar′ ∼ -0.8; and ai′; z′ ∼ -0.4) and a decreasing Φ* (br′; z′ ∼ -0.6) with increasing redshift. Therefore; from (z) ∼ 0.5 to (z) ∼ 3 the characteristic luminosity increases by ∼0.8; ∼0.4; and ∼0.4 mag in the r′; respectively. Simultaneously the characteristic density decreases by about 40% in all analyzed wavebands. A comparison of the LFs with semianalytical galaxy formation models by Kauffmann et al. (1999) shows a similar result to the blue bands: the semi-analytical models predict LFs that describe the data at low redshift very well; but show growing disagreement with increasing redshifts. © ESO 2006;
