For a subgroup L of the symmetric group $${S_{\ell}}$$Sℓ, we determine the minimal base size of $${GL_d(q) \wr L}$$GLd(q)≀L acting on $${V_d(q)^{\ell}}$$Vd(q)ℓ as an imprimitive linear group. This is achieved by computing the number of orbits of GLd(q) on spanning m-tuples, which turns out to be the number of d-dimensional subspaces of Vm(q). We then use these results to prove that for certain families of subgroups L, the affine groups whose stabilisers are large subgroups of $${GL_{d}(q) \wr L… Expand
