Query: List Decoding with Double Samplers   We strengthen the notion of "double samplers", first introduced by Dinur and
Kaufman [Proc. 58th FOCS, 2017], which are samplers with additional
combinatorial properties, and whose existence we prove using high dimensional
expanders.
  The ABNNR code construction [IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 38(2):509--516,
1992] achieves large distance by starting with a base code $C$ with moderate
distance, and then amplifying the distance using a sampler. We show that if the
sampler is part of a larger double sampler then the construction has an
efficient list-decoding algorithm. Our algorithm works even if the ABNNR
construction is not applied to a base code $C$ but to any string. In this case
the resulting code is approximate-list-decodable, i.e. the output list contains
an approximation to the original input.
  Our list-decoding algorithm works as follows: it uses a local voting scheme
from which it constructs a unique games constraint graph. The constraint graph
is an expander, so we can solve unique games efficiently. These solutions are
the output of the list decoder. This is a novel use of a unique games algorithm
as a subroutine in a decoding procedure, as opposed to the more common
situation in which unique games are used for demonstrating hardness results.
  Double samplers and high dimensional expanders are akin to pseudorandom
objects in their utility, but they greatly exceed random objects in their
combinatorial properties. We believe that these objects hold significant
potential for coding theoretic constructions and view this work as
demonstrating the power of double samplers in this context.
