DESCRIPTION:Given a finite group G and a faithful irreducible FG-module V 
 where F is a field of prime order\, we can ask whether G has a regular orb
 it on the vectors of V. This problem is related to determining which primi
 tive permutation groups of affine type have a base of size 2\, as well as 
 the famous k(GV)-problem and a conjecture of Brauer concerning defect grou
 ps of blocks. We will consider the regular orbit problem for the symmetric
  and alternating groups.
