Second price allpay auctions (wars of attritions) have an evolutionarily stable equilibrium in pure strategies if valuations are private information. I show that for any level of uncertainty there exists a pure deviation strategy close to the equilibrium strategy such that for some valuations the equilibrium strategy has a selective disadvantage against the deviation if the population mainly pl...

A description of continuous rigid motion compatible Minkowski valuations is established. As an application we present a Brunn–Minkowski type inequality for intrinsic volumes of these valuations.

— In this paper we show how to recover a special class of valuations (which generalize in a natural way the Zariski prime divisors) of function fields from the Galois theory of the functions fields in discussion. These valuations play a central role in the birational anabelian geometry and related questions. Résumé (Théorie de Galois pro-` des diviseurs premiers de Zariski) Dans cet article nou...
