  Two-strategy games on the lattice
  Nicolas Lanchier
  In the seventies, biologists Maynard Smith and Price used concepts from game theory to describe animal conflicts. Their work is at the origin of the popular framework of evolutionary game theory. Space is another component that has been identified as a key factor in how communities are shaped. Spatial game models are therefore of primary interest for biologists and sociologists. There is however a lack of analytical results in this field. The objective of this talk is to explore the framework analytically through a simple spatial game model based on interacting particle systems (agent-based models). Our results indicate that the behavior of this process strongly differs from the one of its non-spatial mean-field approximation, which reveals the importance of space in game theoretic interactions.
