Invariable generation of permutation and linear groups

Abstract: A subset $\left{x_{1},x_{2},\hdots,x_{d}\right}$ of a group $G$ \emph{invariably generates} $G$ if $\left{x_{1}^{g_{1}},x_{2}^{g_{2}},\hdots,x_{d}^{g_{d}}\right}$ generates $G$ for every $d$-tuple $(g_{1},g_{2}\hdots,g_{d})\in G^{d}$. We prove that a finite completely reducible linear group of dimension $n$ can be invariably generated by $\left\lfloor \frac{3n}{2}\right\rfloor$ elements. We also prove tighter bounds when the field in question has order $2$ or $3$. Finally, we prove that a transitive [respectively primitive] permutation group of degree $n\geq 2$ [resp. $n\geq 3$] can be invariably generated by $O\left(\frac{n}{\sqrt{\log{n}}}\right)$ [resp. $O\left(\frac{\log{n}}{\sqrt{\log{\log{n}}}}\right)$] elements.
