This paper establishes a rigorous theoretical foundation for information representation in games with incomplete information, proving the existence and uniqueness of a minimal Strategic Type Space (STS). The research demonstrates that this optimal structure possesses a recursive nature that can be efficiently captured by a finite automaton, offering a compact framework for modeling complex belief hierarchies. While the work is deeply theoretical, it provides a significant structural insight for advancing computational game theory and algorithmic mechanism design.
Strategic Type Spaces
arXiv:2606.08297v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We provide a strategic foundation for information: in any given game with incomplete information we define strategic quotients as information representations that are sufficient for players to compute best-responses to other players. We prove 1/ existence and essential uniqueness of a minimal strategic quotient called the Strategic Type Space (STS) in which a type is given by an interim correlated rationalizability hierarchy and represents a set of beliefs over other players' types and nature that rationalize this hierarchy and 2/ that the minimal STS has a recursive structure that is captured by a finite automaton.
