| Mar 24, 2022 at 23:12 | comment | added | usul | I think there are many places where games are used as a narrative to describe a problem but game theory itself does not really play a role in the actual math. For example, lots of cryptography, perhaps the quantum scenarios you are thinking of. | |

| Mar 21, 2022 at 23:54 | comment | added | Stiglitz | Schmidt $(\alpha,\beta)$ game and its variants have some fruitful applications to number theory, more specifically in the metric theory of Diophantine approximation | |

| Mar 21, 2022 at 18:30 | comment | added | H.C Manu | That MO question and answers are pretty much what I had in mind when I asked, thank you. Also thank you for the references @DanRomik, the second one especially seems interesting | |
| Mar 21, 2022 at 17:36 | comment | added | Dan Romik | (See also this reference elaborating on the equivalence between the Nash equilibria theorem and fixed point theorems.) | |
| Mar 21, 2022 at 17:13 | comment | added | Dan Romik | The existence of a Nash equilibrium in two player games implies Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. | |

| Mar 21, 2022 at 14:08 | comment | added | H.C Manu | That is what I had in mind yes, but if those applications have a mathematical flavor to them I wouldn't mind seeing such answers | |
| Mar 21, 2022 at 13:38 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | I presume you want to limit this to applications in mathematics? (Otherwise, there are many applications in politics, economics, finance, ...). | |
