We study Mean Field Games (MFGs) driven by a large class of nonlocal, fractional and anomalous diffusions in the whole space. These non-Gaussian diffusions are pure jump L\'evy processes with some $\sigma$-stable like behaviour. Included…

We prove the conjectured first order expansion of the Levy-Lieb functional in the semiclassical limit, arising from Density Functional Theory (DFT). This is accomplished by interpreting the problem as the singular perturbation of an Optimal…

We study first order evolutive Mean Field Games where the Hamiltonian is non-coercive. This situation occurs, for instance, when some directions are "forbidden" to the generic player at some points. We establish the existence of a weak…

On compact manifolds which are not simply connected, we prove the existence of "fake" solutions to the optimal transportion problem. These maps preserve volume and arise as the exponential of a closed 1 form, hence appear geometrically like…

Entry-exit dynamics are crucial in modeling crowd movement. Here, we present a novel first-order, stationary mean-field game model on a bounded domain that accurately captures these dynamics. The interior dynamics of the system are governed…
