Abstract: The diameter of a finite group $G$ equipped with a generating set $S$ is the smallest number $k$ so that every element of $G$ can be written as a product of at most $k$ elements from $S$. We will take a look at how large or small these diameters can (conjecturally) be, and what the generic situation is like.
