contents There are few results on mean field game (MFG) systems where the PDEs are either fully nonlinear or have degenerate diffusions. This paper introduces a problem that combines both difficulties. We prove existence and uniqueness for a strongly degenerate, fully nonlinear MFG system by using the well-posedness theory for fully nonlinear MFGs established in our previous paper. It is the first such application in a degenerate setting. Our MFG involves a controlled pure jump (nonlocal) Lévy diffusion of order less than one, and monotone, smoothing couplings. The key difficulty is obtaining uniqueness for the corresponding degenerate, non-smooth Fokker-Plank equation: since the regularity of the coefficient and the order of the diffusion are interdependent, it holds when the order is sufficiently low. Viscosity solutions and a non-standard doubling of variables argument are used along with a bootstrapping procedure.
