Scoring a Goal optimally in a Soccer game under Liouville-like quantum gravity action

Abstract

In this paper we present a new theoretical model to find out an optimal weight associated with a soccer player under the presence of a stochastic goal dynamics by using Feynman path integral method, where the action of a player is on $\sqrt{8/3}$-Liouville Quantum Gravity surface. Before determine the optimal weight we first establish an Infinitary logic which can deal with infinite variables on the strategy space then, a quantum formula of this logic has been developed and finally, based on this we are able show the existence of a Lefschetz-Hopf fixed point of this game. As in a competitive tournament, all possible standard strategies to score goals are known to the opposition team, a player's action is stochastic in nature and they would have some comparative advantage to score goals. Furthermore, conditions like uncertainties due to rain, dribbling and passing skill of a player, whether the match is a day match or a day-night match, advantages of having home crowd and asymmetric information of action profiles have been considered on the way to determine the optimal weight.
