โฆ Synopsis
Let V be a finite vector space and G GL(V ) a linear group. A base of G is a set of vectors whose pointwise stabiliser in G is trivial. We prove that if G is irreducible and primitive on V , then G has a base of size at most 18 log |G|/log |V | + c, where c is an absolute constant. This verifies part of a conjecture of Pyber on base sizes of primitive permutation groups.

A base of a permutation group G is a sequence B of points from the permutation domain such that only the identity of G fixes B pointwise. We show that primitive permutation groups with no alternating composition factors of degree greater than d and no classical composition factors of rank greater th
A well-developed branch of asymptotic group theory studies the properties of classes of linear and permutation groups as functions of their degree. We refer to the surveys of Cameron [4] and Pyber [17,18] and the recent paper by Pyber and Shalev [19] for a detailed exposition of this subject. In thi
