Abstract

We obtain quantitative estimates on the decay of the multiplayer optimal value under parallel repetition. In comparison to a previous work of the author in 2025 (arXiv: 2508.09380) which sought to generalize dependency-breaking and anchoring variables from two-player Quantum games, being able to establish quantitative estimates on the decay of the optimal value of a multiplayer game under parallel repetition is of interest to establish under different assumptions. Specifically, independently of the dependency-breaking and anchoring variables that have previously been employed to remove correlations from entangled information shared between Alice and Bob (hence removing dependencies), monotonic concave functions can be used in place of such variables to obtain rates of decay on the optimal value. The game-theoretic setting with two players was first analyzed with monotonic concave functions by Lanzenberger and Maurer. For qi,xi>0q_i , x_i > 0 1iN\forall 1 \leq i \leq N where N>0N > 0 is the total number of players we adddress an open question raised in their work regarding potential generalizations of two-player monotonic concave functions, through amplification functions of the form ΨMultΨ=N1iNexp[qixi]\Psi_{\textit{Mult}} \equiv \Psi = N - \underset{1 \leq i \leq N}{\prod} \mathrm{exp} \big[ - q_i x_i \big], which in the multiplayer game-theoretic setting have more intricate combinatorial structures.
