摘要：
在非合作博弈中，参与者之间互不沟通，他们唯一的反馈是执行策略后获得的收益。需要注意的是，在总收益函数的每个水平集内，每个参与者的收益都保持不变，因此理解这些水平集的结构是理解非合作博弈的关键。本札记面向专家与非专家读者，既介绍非合作博弈论，也揭示其与实代数几何的根本关联。我们证明了一项关于水平集结构的一般性结论——该结论虽可能已为专家所知，却具备有趣的应用价值，包括我们近期将其用于为“浮游生物悖论”提供新的数学解释。我们希望促进这些交叉领域间的交流，推动相关方向的进一步研究。
英文摘要：
In a non-cooperative game, players do not communicate with each other. Their only feedback is the payoff they receive resulting from the strategies they execute. It is important to note that within each level set of the total payoff function the payoff to each player is unchanging, and therefore understanding the structure of these level sets plays a key role in understanding non-cooperative games. This note, intended for both experts and non-experts, not only introduces non-cooperative game theory but also shows its fundamental connection to real algebraic geometry. We prove here a general result about the structure of the level sets, which although likely to be known by experts, has interesting implications, including our recent application to provide a new mathematical explanation for the "paradox of the plankton." We hope to encourage communication between these interrelated areas and stimulate further work in similar directions.
