Almost all alternating groups are invariably generated by two elements of prime order

Abstract

We show that for all n≤ X apart from O(X(-c( X)1/2( X)1/2)) exceptions, the alternating group An is invariably generated by two elements of prime order. This answers (in a quantitative form) a question of Guralnick, Shareshian and Woodroofe.
