              <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>
