Diameter conjecture for large subsets of classical compact groups

From papers

Let GG be one of SU(n)\mathrm{SU}(n), SO(n)\mathrm{SO}(n), Spin(n)\mathrm{Spin}(n), or Sp(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n), and let AG\mathcal{A}\subseteq G be measurable with measure ν\nu. The diameter with respect to A\mathcal{A} is the smallest positive integer tt such that At=G\mathcal{A}^t=G. Diameter conjecture. The diameter of GG with respect to A\mathcal{A} is O(ν1/(n))O(\nu^{-1/(\ell n)}), where =1\ell=1 for SO(n)\mathrm{SO}(n) and Spin(n)\mathrm{Spin}(n), =2\ell=2 for SU(n)\mathrm{SU}(n), and =4\ell=4 for Sp(n)\mathrm{Sp}(n). In particular, if νecn\nu\geqslant e^{-cn}, then the diameter is at most Oc(1)O_c(1). This concerns uniform diameter bounds for large measurable subsets of the classical compact groups; the excerpt gives no resolution.
