We give new upper bounds for the diameters of finite groups which do not depend on a choice of generating set. Our method exploits the commutator structure of certain profinite groups, in a fashion analogous to the Solovay-Kitaev procedure…

In the study of deterministic distributed algorithms it is commonly assumed that each node has a unique $O(\log n)$-bit identifier. We prove that for a general class of graph problems, local algorithms (constant-time distributed algorithms)…

We consider the problem of finding a near ground state of a $p$-spin model with Rademacher couplings by means of a low-depth circuit. As a direct extension of the authors' recent work [Gamarnik, Jagannath, Wein 2020], we establish that any…
