Abstract:Fix a prime $ p$ and an integer $ m$ with $ p > m \geq 2$. Define the family of finite groups

$\displaystyle G_{n}:=SL_{m}\left(\mathbb{Z}/p^{n}\mathbb{Z}\right)$

for $ n=1,2,\ldots $. We will prove that there exist two positive constants $ C$ and $ d$ such that for any $ n$ and any generating set $ S\subseteq G_{n}$,

$\displaystyle diam(G_{n},S)\leq C\cdot {log}^{d}(\left\vert G_{n}\right\vert)$

when $ diam\left(G,S\right)$ is the diameter of the finite group $ G$ with respect to the set of generators $ S$. It is defined as the maximum over $ g\in G$ of the length of the shortest word in $ S\cup S^{-1}$ representing $ g$.

This result shows that these families of finite groups have a poly-logarithmic bound on the diameter with respect to any set of generators. The proof of this result also provides an efficient algorithm for finding such a poly-logarithmic representation of any element.
