Is game theory a subfield of set theory or a branch of mathematics on its own?

It's kind of its own thing. At some point it does involve a little bit of geometry/topology when you mathematically define many-player equilibrium regions.

It's not even remotely related to set theory. There isn't a single concept in common to set theory and game theory.

It's mathematics but it was popularized deforming it into a bastard breed.
personally I would wedge it somewhere between differential equations and graph theory

No.

Basically. “Game theory” is a broad term, different kinds of games will look like different fields of math. A lot of the time it looks like combinatorics. But finding a Nash equilibrium looks like linear optimization. If the game is infinite in some way, then measure theory and even set theory could get involved.

picrel, see also e.g. the Axiom of Determinacy

Can anyone give me a few examples of game theory used in real life negotiations? The examples must be real, not "le top companys uses it for profiT"

Any game theory chads here? What's the best winning strategy in Amogus?
