Approximate Distance Oracle with Constant Query Time
read the original abstract
An approximate distance oracle is a succinct data structure that provides fast answers to distance queries between any two nodes. In this paper we consider approximate distance oracles for general undirected graphs with non-negative edge weights with constant query time. We present a distance oracle of size O(k n^{1+1/k}), with 2k-1 stretch and O(1) query time. This improves the O(log{k}) query time of Wulff-Nilsen's distance oracle [SODA '13], which in turn improved the O(k) query time of Thorup and Zwick's distance oracle [J. ACM '05].

Tighter bounds for weighted and unweighted shortest cycle approximation
Achieves (2k/3)-approximation for girth in weighted graphs in Õ(m + n^{1+2/k}) time for every k≥2, improving prior partial results, plus new fine-grained lower bounds for unweighted girth approximation.
