SCU Mathematics Colloquium Series Schedule

Spring 2005

• April 19th Ruchira Datta, Google

  Title: Universality of Nash Equilibria

  Abstract: Every real algebraic variety is isomorphic to the set of totally mixed Nash equilibria of some three-person game, and also to the set of totally mixed Nash equilibria of an N-person game in which each player has two pure strategies. From the Nash-Tognoli Theorem it follows that every compact differentiable manifold can be encoded as the set of totally mixed Nash equilibria of some game.
