In this paper, we show that the constant-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm for groups (Brachter & Schweitzer, LICS 2020) can be fruitfully used to improve parallel complexity upper bounds on isomorphism testing for several families of groups. In particular, we show: - Groups with an Abelian normal Hall subgroup whose complement is $O(1)$-generated are identified by constant-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman using only a constant number of rounds. This places isomorphism testing for this family of groups into $\textsf{L}$; the previous upper bound for isomorphism testing was $\textsf{P}$ (Qiao, Sarma, & Tang, STACS 2011). - We use the individualize-and-refine paradigm to obtain a $\textsf{quasiSAC}^{1}$ isomorphism test for groups without Abelian normal subgroups, previously only known to be in $\textsf{P}$ (Babai, Codenotti, & Qiao, ICALP 2012). - We extend a result of Brachter & Schweitzer (arXiv, 2021) on direct products of groups to the parallel setting. Namely, we also show that Weisfeiler-Leman can identify direct products in parallel, provided it can identify each of the indecomposable direct factors in parallel. They previously showed the analogous result for $\textsf{P}$. We finally consider the count-free Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm, where we show that count-free WL is unable to even distinguish Abelian groups in polynomial-time. Nonetheless, we use count-free WL in tandem with bounded non-determinism and limited counting to obtain a new upper bound of $\beta_{1}\textsf{MAC}^{0}(\textsf{FOLL})$ for isomorphism testing of Abelian groups. This improves upon the previous $\textsf{TC}^{0}(\textsf{FOLL})$ upper bound due to Chattopadhyay, Tor\'an, & Wagner (ACM Trans. Comput. Theory, 2013).

Comput. Theory, 2013)此前建立的$\textsf{TC}^{0}(\textsf{FOLL})$上界。
