Abstract: Let $G$ be a transitive normal subgroup of a permutation group $A$ of finite degree $n$. The factor group $A/G$ can be considered as a certain Galois group and one would like to bound its size. One of the results of the paper is that $|A/G|<n$ if $G$ is primitive unless $n=3^4$, $5^4$, $3^8$, $5^8$, or $3^{16}$. This bound is sharp when $n$ is prime. In fact, when $G$ is primitive, $|mathrmOut(G)|<n$ unless $G$ is a member of a given infinite sequence of primitive groups and $n$ is different from the previously listed integers. Many other results of this flavor are established not only for permutation groups but also for linear groups and Galois groups.
