Homogenization of a mean field game system in the small noise limit

Abstract: This paper concerns the simultaneous effect of homogenization and of the small noise limit for a $2^{\textrm {nd}}$ order mean field games (MFG) system with local coupling and quadratic Hamiltonian. We show under some additional assumptions that the solutions of our system converge to a solution of an effective $1^{\textrm {st}}$ order system whose effective operators are defined through a cell problem which is a $2^{\textrm {nd}}$ order system of ergodic MFG type. We provide several properties of the effective operators and we show that in general the effective system looses the MFG structure.
