Summary:
In this paper $N$-person nonzero-sum games are considered. The dynamics is described by Ito stochastic differential equations. The cost-functions are conditional expectations of functionals of Bolza type with respect to the initial situation. The notion of $Z$-equilibrium is introduced in many-player stochastic differential games. Some properties of $Z$-equilibria are analyzed. Sufficient conditions are established guaranteeing the $Z$-equilibrium for the strategies of the players. In a particular case of a linear-quadratic game the $Z$-equilibrium strategies are found in an explicit form.
