SUMMARY:New Uniform Diameter Bounds in Pro-p Groups - Henry Bradford\, Uni
 versity of Oxford

DESCRIPTION:We give new upper bounds for the diameters of finite groups ar
 ising as images of certain profinite groups\, including p-adic analytic gr
 oups and the Nottingham group. Our bounds do not depend on a choice of gen
 erating set. Our method exploits the commutator structure of the profinite
  groups we study\, in a manner reminiscent of the Solovay-Kitaev procedure
  from quantum computation.
