Query: Settling the complexity of computing approximate two-player Nash
  equilibria   We prove that there exists a constant $\epsilon>0$ such that, assuming the
Exponential Time Hypothesis for PPAD, computing an $\epsilon$-approximate Nash
equilibrium in a two-player (nXn) game requires quasi-polynomial time,
$n^{\log^{1-o(1)} n}$. This matches (up to the o(1) term) the algorithm of
Lipton, Markakis, and Mehta [LMM03].
  Our proof relies on a variety of techniques from the study of
probabilistically checkable proofs (PCP); this is the first time that such
ideas are used for a reduction between problems inside PPAD.
  En route, we also prove new hardness results for computing Nash equilibria in
games with many players. In particular, we show that computing an
$\epsilon$-approximate Nash equilibrium in a game with n players requires
$2^{\Omega(n)}$ oracle queries to the payoff tensors. This resolves an open
problem posed by Hart and Nisan [HN13], Babichenko [Bab14], and Chen et al.
[CCT15]. In fact, our results for n-player games are stronger: they hold with
respect to the $(\epsilon,\delta)$-WeakNash relaxation recently introduced by
Babichenko et al. [BPR16].
