This work is mainly concerned with the so-called limit theory for mean-field games. Adopting the weak formulation paradigm put forward by Carmona and Lacker, we consider a fully non-Markovian setting allowing for drift control and…

In this paper we study evolutive first order Mean Field Games in the Heisenberg group~$\He^1$; each agent can move only along "horizontal" trajectories which are given in terms of the vector fields generating~$\He^1$ and the kinetic part of…

We study mean field games and corresponding $N$-player games in continuous time over a finite time horizon where the position of each agent belongs to a finite state space. As opposed to previous works on finite state mean field games, we…

An existence result for a class of mean field games of controls is provided. In the considered model, the cost functional to be minimized by each agent involves a price depending at a given time on the controls of all agents and a…

This paper studies the convergence problem for mean field games with common noise. We define a suitable notion of weak mean field equilibria, which we prove captures all subsequential limit points, as $n\to\infty$, of closed-loop…

This article introduces a novel mean-field game model for multi-sector economic growth in which a dynamically evolving externality, influenced by the collective actions of agents, plays a central role. Building on classical growth theories…

The theory of mean field games aims at studying deterministic or stochastic differential games (Nash equilibria) as the number of agents tends to infinity. Since very few mean field games have explicit or semi-explicit solutions, numerical…

In a mean field game of controls, players seek to minimize a cost that depends on the joint distribution of players' states and controls. We consider an ergodic problem for second-order mean field games of controls with state constraints,…

We introduce a simple class of mean field games with absorbing boundary over a finite time horizon. In the corresponding $N$-player games, the evolution of players' states is described by a system of weakly interacting It\^o equations with…

We present a new notion of solution for mean field games master equations. This notion allows us to work with solutions which are merely continuous. We prove first results of uniqueness and stability for such solutions. It turns out that…

A precise description of the convexity of Gaussian measures is provided by sharp Brunn-Minkowski type inequalities due to Ehrhard and Borell. We show that these are manifestations of a game-theoretic mechanism: a minimax variational…
