This paper focuses on indefinite stochastic mean-field linear-quadratic (MF-LQ, for short) optimal control problems, which allow the weighting matrices for state and control in the cost functional to be indefinite. The solvability of…
We introduce a new path-by-path approach to mean field games with common noise that recovers duality at the pathwise level. We verify this perspective by explicitly solving some difficult examples with linear-quadratic data, including…

We consider a class of linear-quadratic-Gaussian mean-field games with a major agent and considerable heterogeneous minor agents in the presence of mean-field interactions. The individual admissible controls are constrained in closed convex…
We present a simpler proof of the existence of equilibria for a class of mean field games with common noise, where players interact through the conditional law given the current value of the common noise rather than its entire path. By…
We prove the global-in-time well-posedness for a broad class of mean field game problems, which is beyond the special linear-quadratic setting, as long as the mean field sensitivity is not too large. Through the stochastic maximum…
In this paper, we consider a system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with monotone functionals. We show the existence and uniqueness of such a system by the method of continuation similarly to Peng and Wu…

In this paper, we consider the mean field game with a common noise and allow the state coefficients to vary with the conditional distribution in a nonlinear way. We assume that the cost function satisfies a convexity and a weak monotonicity…
The theory of Mean Field Game of Controls considers a class of mean field games where the interaction is through the joint distribution of the state and control. It is well known that, for standard mean field games, certain monotonicity…
