On games with asymmetric information

In this talk we will consider two player zero sum games where the two players have access to different informations about payoffs and the dynamics driving the game. We assume that the players can observe the actions of their opponents, which allows them to guess the private information of the other player. Optimal strategies in these games are thus much more complex than in games where both players have access to the same information. Not only do the players aim to optimise a payoff while not giving away too much information, but they choose their strategy in order to optimally manipulate the beliefs of the other players while defending themselves against the manipulation of their adversary. This typical behaviour is found in a large class of games, notably also for stopping games on which we will concentrate in this talk.
