Invariable generation of prosoluble groups

Group Theory 2014-10-22 v2

Abstract

A group GG is invariably generated by a subset SS of GG if G=sg(s)sSG= s^{g(s)} \mid s\in S for each choice of g(s)Gg(s) \in G, sSs \in S. Answering two questions posed by Kantor, Lubotzky and Shalev, we prove that the free prosoluble group of rank d2d \ge 2 cannot be invariably generated by a finite set of elements, while the free solvable profinite group of rank dd and derived length ll is invariably generated by precisely l(d1)+1l(d-1)+1 elements.
