This thesis is concerned with some asymptotic and geometric properties of finite groups. We shall present two major works with some applications.

We present the first major work in Chapter 3 and its application in Chapter 4. We shall explore the how the expansions of many conjugacy classes is related to the representations of a group, and then focus on using this to characterize quasirandom groups. Then in Chapter 4 we shall apply these results in ultraproducts of certain quasirandom groups and in the Bohr compactification of topological groups. This work is published in the Journal of Group Theory [Yan16].

We present the second major work in Chapter 5 and 6. We shall use tools from number theory, combinatorics and geometry over finite fields to obtain an improved diameter bounds of finite simple groups. We also record the implications on spectral gap and mixing time on the Cayley graphs of these groups. This is a collaborated work with Arindam Biswas and published in the Journal of London Mathematical Society [BY17].
