This paper considers a special class of nonlocal games $(G,\psi)$, where $G$ is a two-player one-round game, and $\psi$ is a bipartite state independent of $G$. In the game $(G,\psi)$, the players are allowed to share arbitrarily many…

We prove a non-commutative version of the Hilbert's 17th problem, giving a characterization of the class of non-commutative polynomials in n-undeterminates that have positive trace when evaluated in n-selfadjoint elements in arbitrary II1…

Under the uncoupled learning setup, the last-iterate convergence guarantee towards Nash equilibrium is shown to be impossible in many games. This work studies the last-iterate convergence guarantee in general games toward rationalizability,…

In this paper we present an assume-guarantee specification theory (aka interface theory from [14]) for modular synthesis and verification of real-time systems with critical timing constraints. It is a further step of our earlier work [10]…

We consider a class of coalition formation games called hedonic games, i.e., games in which the utility of a player is completely determined by the coalition that the player belongs to. We first define the class of subset-additive hedonic…

We introduce a new class of non-local games, and corresponding densities, which we call bisynchronous. Bisynchronous games are a subclass of synchronous games and exhibit many interesting symmetries when the algebra of the game is…

Zero-sum games arise in a wide variety of problems, including robust optimization and adversarial learning. However, algorithms deployed for finding a local Nash equilibrium in these games often converge to non-Nash stationary points. This…

In the present paper, based on the previous work (Part I), we present a game semantics for the intensional variant of intuitionistic type theory that refutes the principle of uniqueness of identity proofs and validates the univalence axiom,…

We consider one-round games between a classical verifier and two provers who share entanglement. We show that when the constraints enforced by the verifier are `unique' constraints (i.e., permutations), the value of the game can be well…

We show a general method of compiling any $k$-prover non-local game into a single-prover interactive game maintaining the same (quantum) completeness and (classical) soundness guarantees (up to negligible additive factors in a security…

Satisfiability checking for monotone modal logic is known to be (only) NP-complete. We show that this remains true when the logic is extended with aconjunctive and alternation-free fixpoint operators as well as the universal modality; the…

This paper extends the self-referential framework of Alpay Algebra into a multi-layered semantic game architecture where transfinite fixed-point convergence encompasses hierarchical sub-games at each iteration level. Building upon Alpay…

Non-injective functions are not globally invertible. However, they can often be restricted to locally injective subdomains where the inversion is well-defined. In many settings a preferred solution can be selected even when multiple valid…
