Abstract: The group $extDiff(mathcalM)$ of diffeomorphisms of a closed manifold $mathcalM$ is naturally equipped with various right-invariant Sobolev norms $W^{s,p}$. Recent work showed that for sufficiently weak norms, the geodesic distance collapses completely (namely, when $spleextdimmathcalM$ and $s<1$). But when there is no collapse, what kind of metric space is obtained? In particular, does it have a finite or infinite diameter? This is the question we study in this paper. We show that the diameter is infinite for strong enough norms, when $(s-1)pgeextdimmathcalM$, and that for spheres the diameter is finite when $(s-1)p<1$. In particular, this gives a full characterization of the diameter of $extDiff(S^1)$. In addition, we show that for $ext{Diff}_c(mathbb{R}^n)$, if the diameter is not zero, it is infinite.
