Growth of spheres in FINITE nilpotent groups - Gaussian approximation (central limit theorem)?

Standard setup. Consider a group and choose generators. Word-metric (or in the other words - distance on the Cayley graph of the group+generators) - converts a group into a metric space, which is ...

How to choose N policemen positions to catch a drunk driver in the most effective way (on a Cayley graph of a finite group)?

Consider a Cayley graph of some big finite group. Consider random walk on such a graph - think of it as drunk driver. Fix some number $N$ which is much smaller than group size. Question 1: How to ...

Distance distribution for Cayley graphs of the fintie Heisenberg groups H3(Z/nZ) approaches Gaussian for large "n"?

I wonder several questions about Cayley graphs of finite Heisenberg groups H3(Z/nZ). Question 1: do we know the diameter dependence on "n", at least for the standard choice of generators ? ...
