Robert John Aumann

Profesor Robert John Aumann má své kořeny v Německu – narodil se 8. června 1930 ve Frankfurtu nad Mohanem. V roce 1938 se krátce před „Křišťálovou nocí“ dostává s rodiči do USA. Matematické vzdělání získal na Massachusetts Institute of Technology, kde v roce 1955 obhájil doktorát. R. J. Aumann má dvojí občanství – americké a izraelské. Jeho hlavním působištěm byla a stále je Hebrew University of Jerusalem, kde v roce 1968 získal profesuru a v současnosti má titul emeritního profesora.

V době udělení Pamětní ceny Alfreda Nobela pětasedmdesátiletý Aumann se ve svých pracích, založených na matematické analýze, zabývá teorií takzvaných „nekonečně opakovaných her“, která se snaží odhadovat výsledky dlouhodobých procesů a vztahů.

Robert Aumann se spolu s Američanem Thomasem Schellingem z University of Maryland, spoludržitelem ocenění, pokusili zodpovědět otázku, proč některé skupiny, organizace a země spolupracují, zatímco jiné ovládají konflikty.

Aumann je držitelem i mnoha dalších významných ocenění za svou vědeckou práci – např. Israel Prize in Economics (1994), EMET Prize in Economics (2002), je členem např. Econometric Society (od 1966), American Economic Association (od 1993), aj. Byl mu udělen čestný doktorát např. na University of Bonn, University Catholique de Louvain, University of Chicago.

Profesor Robert J. Aumann se roku 1955 oženil s Esther Schlesinger, se kterou měl pět dětí, nejstarší syn Shlomo tragicky zahynul roku 1982 při výkonu služby v izraelské armádě. Roku 1988 Aumann ovdověl a v roce 2005 se znovu oženil. Za manželku si vzal ovdovělou sestru své zemřelé ženy, Batya Cohn. V současnosti má R. Aumann 19 vnoučat a dvě pravnoučata.
