	Robert J. Aumann
		Robert J. Aumann's has been one of the leading figures in the mathematical surge that has characterized Neo-Walrasian economics and game theory in the past forty years.
		In Neo-Walrasian theory, Robert Aumann is perhaps best known for his theory of core equivalence in a "continuum" economy.
		In his classical 1964 paper, Aumann proved the equivalence of the Edgeworthian core and Walrasian equilibrium allocations when there are an uncountable infinite number of agents - thereby providing the limit case for future work on core convergence.

	Robert Aumann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aumann was awarded the 2005 Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, colloquially known as the Nobel Prize in Economics, for "having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis".
		Aumann was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and fled to the United States with his family in 1938, two weeks before the Kristallnacht riots.
		Aumann was the first to define the concept of correlated equilibrium in game theory, which is a type of equilibrium in non-cooperative games that is more flexible than the classical Nash Equilibrium.

	Honour for game theorists
		Aumann (75) and Schelling (84), who have never worked together, were cited by the Academy for helping explain "economic conflicts such as price wars and trade wars, as well as why some communities are more successful than others in managing common-pool resources".
		In fact, Aumann points out that at the height of the `Red Scare' in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there was apprehension among strategic analysts that the building of nuclear fallout shelters in the U.S. could be interpreted by the Soviets "as extremely aggressive behaviour".
		Aumann, by admission a devout Jew, is a member in the Professors for a Strong Israel (PSI).

		Aumann, according to the Nobel Prize committee, was the first researcher to conduct a full-fledged mathematical analysis of "repeated games" - how parties interact many times over a long period.
		Aumann's work also shows that it may be useful to have a mediator who speaks to the parties separately, and in some cases gives different information to each party.
