Theoretically and Practically Efficient Parallel Nucleus Decomposition

Summary: Parallel nucleus decomposition with work matching the best sequential bounds and low depth, surpassing PVLDB 2018's parallel method. Key ideas: clique-peeling bound, parallel clique listing/bucketing, and cache-friendly multi-level hash tables, delivering up to 55x speedup on 30 cores. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
