Abstract

We prove that the number of iterations taken by the Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm for configurations coming from Schreier graphs is closely linked to the diameter of the graphs themselves: an upper bound is found for general Schreier graphs, and a lower bound holds for particular cases, such as for Schreier graphs with G=\mboxSLn(Fq)G=\mbox{SL}_{n}({\mathbb F}_{q}) (q>2q>2) acting on kk-tuples of vectors in Fqn{\mathbb F}_{q}^{n}; moreover, an exact expression is found in the case of Cayley graphs.
