Diameter bounds for arbitrary finite groups and applications

Sean Eberhard, Elena Maini, Luca Sabatini +1

We prove a strong general-purpose bound for the diameter of a finite group depending only on the diameters of its composition factors and the maximal exponent of a normal abelian s…

Expanding groups with large diameter

Sean Eberhard, Luca Sabatini

We study how the spectral gap and diameter of Cayley graphs depend strongly on the choice of generating set. We answer a question of Pyber and Szabó (2013) by exhibiting a sequence…

Examples of diameter-2 graphs with no triangle or $K_{2, t}$

Sean Eberhard, Vladislav Taranchuk, Craig Timmons

For each $t \geq 1$ let $W_{t}$ denote the class of graphs other than stars that have diameter $2$ and contain neither a triangle nor a $K_{2, t}$ . The famous Hoffman--Singleton Theore…

Probabilistic construction of some extremal $p$ -groups

Sean Eberhard, Luca Sabatini

A $p$ -group $G$ is called *ab-maximal* if $∣ H : H^{'} ∣ < ∣ G : G^{'} ∣$ for every proper subgroup $H$ of $G$ . Similarly, $G$ is called * $d$ -maximal* if $d (H) < d (G)$ for every proper subgrou…
