Title:  A light introduction to combinatorial games

Abstract:  I will offer a introduction to combinatorial games.  I will review some of the standard results, such as the existence of willing strategies for certain classes of two person games, and the notion of nim values for impartial games.  If time permits, I may also be able to offer a peek into Conway's surreal numbers.

Panelists: 

We derive the Ward identities originated from general linear transformations for the systems with time translation invariance. They connect various transport coefficients for 2+1 dimensional systems with broken parity. Our general results agree with the available relations in incompressible Hall fluid and in magnetically charged black holes. The talk is organized to give a broad picture for the subject.
