<div align="left"><b><b><font color="#ff0000">Abstract: </font></b></b>In
1950, Nash published a very influential two-page paper
proving the existence of Nash equilibria for any finite
game. The proof uses an elegant application of the
Kakutani fixed-point theorem from the field of topology.
This opened a new horizon not only in game theory, but
also in areas such as economics, computer science,
evolutionary biology, and social sciences. It has,
however, been noted that in some cases the Nash
equilibrium fails to predict the most beneficial outcome
for all players. To address this, generalizations of
Nash equilibria such as correlated and dependency
equilibria were introduced. In this talk, I elaborate on
how nonlinear algebra is indispensable for studying
undiscovered facets of these concepts of equilibria in
game theory.<br>
