Abstract
For a constant , we prove a poly(N) lower bound on the (randomized) communication complexity of -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 -weak approximate Nash equilibrium, which is a profile of mixed actions such that at least -fraction of the players are -best replying.
