Title: The PCP-for-PPAD conjecture: a quasilinear reduction.

Abstract: We prove the quasilinear-size PCP-for-PPAD conjecture of Babichenko, Papadimitriou, and Rubinstein. There are fixed positive rational constants ε and δ and a deterministic polynomial-time reduction that transforms an End-of-Line instance of binary length N into a generalized circuit of total binary length $N({}log N){}{O(1)}$. From any rational assignment of polynomial encoding length that ε-satisfies all but a δ fraction of the gates, a solution to the original End-of-Line instance can be recovered in polynomial time, regardless of which gates fail. Such assignments always exist, with one fixed polynomial bound on their encoding length.
