Abstract: We provide new deterministic algorithms for the edge coloring problem, which is one of the classic and highly studied distributed local symmetry breaking problems. As our main result, we show that a $(2Delta-1)$-edge coloring can be computed in time $mathrmpolylogDelta+O(lo{g}^{\ast }n)$ in the LOCAL model. This improves a result of Balliu, Kuhn, and Olivetti [PODC '20], who gave an algorithm with a quasi-polylogarithmic dependency on $Delta$. We further show that in the CONGEST model, an $(8+varepsilon)Delta$-edge coloring can be computed in $mathrmpolylogDelta+O(lo{g}^{\ast }n)$ rounds. The best previous $O(Delta)$-edge coloring algorithm that can be implemented in the CONGEST model is by Barenboim and Elkin [PODC '11] and it computes a $2^{O(1/varepsilon)}Delta$-edge coloring in time $O(Delt{a}^{v}arepsilon+lo{g}^{\ast }n)$ for any $varepsilonin(0,1]$.
