Communication complexity of approximate Nash equilibria
  For a constant $\epsilon$, we prove a poly(N) lower bound on the (randomized) communication complexity of $\epsilon$-Nash equilibrium in two-player NxN games. For n-player binary-action games we prove an exp(n) lower bound for the (randomized) communication complexity of $(\epsilon,\epsilon)$-weak approximate Nash equilibrium, which is a profile of mixed actions such that at least $(1-\epsilon)$-fraction of the players are $\epsilon$-best replying.
