We consider Nash equilibria as correlated equilibria and apply polyhedral theory to study extreme Nash equilibrium properties. We obtain an alternate proof that extreme Nash equilibria are extreme correlated equilibria and give some characteristics of them. Furthermore, we study a class of games that have no completely mixed Nash equilibria.

This paper describes a new application of polyhedral theory to the growth of the outer sheath of certain viruses. Such structures are often modular, consisting of one or two types of units arranged in a symmetric pattern. In particular, the polyoma virus has a structure apparently related to the snub dodecahedron. Here, we consider the problem of how such patterns might grow in time, starting from a given number N of randomly placed circles on the surface of a sphere. The circles are first jostled by random perturbations, then their radii are enlarged, then they are jostled again, and so on. This ‘yin–yang’ method of growth can result in some very close packings. When N =12, the closest packing corresponds to the snub tetrahedron, and when N =24 the closest packing corresponds to the snub cube. However, when N =60 the closest packing does not correspond to the snub dodecahedron but to a less-symmetric arrangement. Special attention is given to the structure of the human polyoma virus, for which N =72. It is shown that the yin–yang procedure successfully assembles the observed structure provided that the 72 circles are pre-assembled in clusters of six. Each cluster consists of five circles arranged symmetrically around a sixth at the centre, as in a flower with five petals. This has implications for the assembly of the capsomeres in a polyoma virus.
