Contributions

The most important contribution of Aumann is in the field of the repeated plays, which are situations where the players are confronted with the same situation with many recoveries.

Aumann was the first to define the concept of balance correlated in game theory, which is a type of balance in the not-co-operative plays, considered like more flexible than the balance of Nash. Moreover, Aumann studied the concept of to know common in the Game theory in a strict way.

As a Jewish practitioner, Aumann used the game theory to analyze some of the dilemmas of the Talmud. It was thus able to dissipate the mystery surrounding the “problem of division”. The problem consisted in explaining the logic of Talmud in the division of a heritage of a husband deceased to his three wives, according to the value of the heritage, compared with its original value. It dedicated its article on the subject to his son, Shlomo Aumann, fallen to the combat during the Opération Peace as a Galileo, during the war of Lebanon, in 1982.
