Abstract
We study the Spohn conditional independence (CI) variety of an n-player game X for undirected graphical models on n binary random variables consisting of one edge. For a generic game, we show that is a smooth irreducible complete intersection curve (Nash conditional independence curve) in the Segre variety and we give an explicit formula for its degree and genus. We prove two universality theorems for : The product of any affine real algebraic variety with the real line or any affine real algebraic variety in defined by at most polynomials is isomorphic to an affine open subset of for some game X.
