We introduce a class of fully nonlinear mean field games posed in $[0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^d$. We justify that they are related to controlled local or nonlocal diffusions, and more generally in our setting, to a new control interpretation…

We study the convergence of Nash equilibria in a game of optimal stopping. If the associated mean field game has a unique equilibrium, any sequence of $n$-player equilibria converges to it as $n\to\infty$. However, both the finite and…
