Foundations of Temperature Theory

Combinatorics 2020-11-24 v3

Abstract

Temperature of combinatorial games have been long studied since when Conway established the modern combinatorial game theory, and there are several variations of the concepts. In this article, we focus on one of the classical versions of temperature, and give precise proofs to the fundamental claims on temperature, namely, the existence, order-preservation, and homomorphism. Besides, a general relationship between the value and the thermograph of a game is investigated.
