Communication complexity of approximate Nash equilibria

For a constant ϵ, we prove a poly(N) lower bound on the communication complexity of ϵ-Nash equilibrium in two-player N×N games. For n-player binary-action games we prove an exp(n) lower bound for the communication complexity of (ϵ,ϵ)-weak approximate Nash equilibrium, which is a profile of mixed actions such that at least (1ϵ)-fraction of the players are ϵ-best replying. https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.06580 Joint work with Yakov Babichenko.
