Deep Policy Iteration for High-Dimensional Mean-Field Games with Regenerative Reformulation

Shuixin Fang, Shupeng Wang, Zhen Wu, Hui Zhang, Tao Zhou ยท 2026

This paper develops a deep policy iteration method for high-dimensional finite-horizon mean-field games. We reformulate the game as a regenerative problem with deterministic cycles, which allows policโ€ฆ

Median-of-Means for Nash Equilibrium Seeking in Heavy-Tailed Games

Chao Sun, Bo Chen, Jianzheng Wang, Zheming Wang, Li Yu ยท 2026

This paper studies the Nash equilibrium seeking problem for stochastic games under heavy-tailed noise. The gradient noise is considered to have a finite $\delta$-th moment ($1<\delta\le 2$), which genโ€ฆ

Subgroups of Finite Fields As Cap Sets

Anthony Kable, Melissa Mills, David J. Wright ยท 2026

We show the subgroup of 20 nonzero fourth powers in the finite field of order 81 is a cap set. Similarly, the subgroup of 9 nonzero seventh powers in the field of order 64 is a cap set. These are the โ€ฆ

Immersions of $C_2$-projective spaces via $K\mathbb{R}$-theory

Manyi Guo, Jackson Morris, Alex Waugh, Albert Jinghui Yang ยท 2026

We compute the Atiyah Real $K$-theory of $C_2$-equivariant projective spaces and construct immersions of such spaces into multiples of the regular representation. These computations are made tractableโ€ฆ
