We extend Solovay's theorem about definable subsets of the Baire space to the generalized Baire space ${}^\lambda\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal with $\lambda^{<\lambda}=\lambda$. In the first main theorem, we show that…
The classical Banach-Mazur game is directly related to the Baire property and the property of being a productively Baire space. In this paper, we discuss two variations of this classic game that are even more related to these properties.
The classical result of Landau on the existence of kings in finite tournaments (=finite directed complete graphs) is extended to continuous tournaments for which the set X of players is a compact Hausdorff space. The following partial…
The article studies topological games that arise in the study of the continuity of operations in groups with topology, such as paratopological and semitopological groups. These games are modifications of the Banach--Mazur game. Given a…
An infinite game on the set of real numbers appeared in Matthew Baker's work [Math. Mag. 80 (2007), no. 5, pp. 377--380] in which he asks whether it can help characterize countable subsets of the reals. This question is in a similar spirit…
We prove that if X is a separable metric space with the Hurewicz covering property, then the Banach-Mazur game played on X is determined. The implication is not true when "Hurewicz covering property" is replaced with "Menger covering…
Infinite games (in the form of Gale-Stewart games) are studied where a play is a sequence of natural numbers chosen by two players in alternation, the winning condition being a subset of the Baire space $\omega^\omega$. We consider such…
Telg\'arsky's conjecture states that for each $k \in \mathbb N$, there is a topological space $X_k$ such that in the Banach-Mazur game on $X_k$, the player {\scriptsize NONEMPTY} has a winning $(k+1)$-tactic but no winning $k$-tactic. We…
We present a simple and natural infinite game building an increasing chain of finite-dimensional Banach spaces. We show that one of the players has a strategy with the property that, no matter how the other player plays, the completion of…
We consider the following two-player game played on a separable, infinite-dimensional Banach space X. Player S chooses a positive integer k_1 and a finite-codimensional subspace X_1 of X. Then player P chooses x_1 in the unit sphere of X_1.…
A Bayesian game is said to have nested information if the players are ordered, and each player knows the types of all players that follow her in that order. We prove that all multiplayer Bayesian games with finite actions spaces, bounded…
n infinite two-player zero-sum game with a Borel winning set, in which the opponent's actions are monitored eventually but not necessarily immediately after they are played, is determined. The proof relies on a representation of the game as…
We study multi-player games with perfect information and general payoff function, where the set of stages is the set of non-positive integers $\{\ldots,-2,-1,0\}$. We define two related equilibrium concepts: one considering only deviations…
We prove that a player $\alpha$ has a winning strategy in the Banach--Mazur game on a space $X$ if and only if $X$ is F-Y countably $\pi$-domain representable. We show that Choquet complete spaces are F-Y countably domain representable. We…
We give an elementary proof that in a Borel family of games, the set of games for which player II has a winning strategy is Baire measurable, universally measurable, and completely Ramsey in the case where $X = [\mathbb{N}]^{\aleph_0}$.
We give topological and game theoretic definitions and theorems nec- essary for defining a Banach-Mazur game, and apply these definitions to formalize the game. We then state and prove two theorems which give necessary conditions for…
The Baire category theorem states that every complete pseudometric space is a Baire space. There are some results in metric spaces which have their analogue in uniform spaces, however this is not one of them. Nonetheless, since the Baire…
We prove that every Schreier graph of a free Borel action of a finitely generated non-amenable group has a Baire measurable perfect matching. This result was previously only known in the bipartite setting. We also prove that every Borel…
Subgame perfect equilibria are specific Nash equilibria in perfect information games in extensive form. They are important because they relate to the rationality of the players. They always exist in infinite games with continuous…
In this paper, we first establish some equivalent formulations of non-Baire sets in category bases. We then introduce the notion of an uniform non-Baire family of sets and show that there is an uniform non-Baire family inducing a…
