The Molecular Gas Content of z = 3 Lyman Break Galaxies; Evidence of a
  non Evolving Gas Fraction in Main Sequence Galaxies at z > 2
  We present observations of the CO[3-2] emission towards two massive and
infrared luminous Lyman Break Galaxies at z = 3.21 and z = 2.92, using the IRAM
Plateau de Bure Interferometer, placing first constraints on the molecular gas
masses (Mgas) of non-lensed LBGs. Their overall properties are consistent with
those of typical (Main-Sequence) galaxies at their redshifts, with specific
star formation rates ~1.6 and ~2.2 Gyr^(-1), despite their large infrared
luminosities L_IR ~2-3 x 10^12 Lsun derived from Herschel. With one plausible
CO detection (spurious detection probability of 10^(-3)) and one upper limit,
we investigate the evolution of the molecular gas-to-stellar mass ratio
(Mgas/M*) with redshift. Our data suggest that the steep evolution of Mgas/M*
of normal galaxies up to z~2 is followed by a flattening at higher redshifts,
providing supporting evidence for the existence of a plateau in the evolution
of the specific star formation rate at z > 2.5.
