Abstract

The two-players N strategies games quantized according to the Eisert-Lewenstein-Wilkens scheme [1] are considered. It is shown that in the case of maximal entanglement no nontrivial pure Nash equilibrium exists. The proof relies on simple geometric properties of "chiral" group SU(N)×SU(N)SU (N)\times SU(N) and is based on considering the stability subgroup of the initial state of the game. The explicit forms of neither the gate operator nor the payoff matrix are necessary.
