Cross $t$-intersecting families for symplectic polar spaces

Combinatorics 2022-02-25 v3

Abstract

Let P\mathscr{P} be a symplectic polar space over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q, and Pm\mathscr{P}_m denote the collection of all kk-dimensional totally isotropic subspace in P\mathscr{P}. Let F1Pm1\mathscr{F}_1\subset\mathscr{P}_{m_1} and F2Pm2\mathscr{F}_2\subset\mathscr{P}_{m_2} satisfy dim(F1F2)t\dim(F_1\cap F_2)\ge t for any F1F1F_1\in\mathscr{F}_1 and F2F2F_2\in\mathscr{F}_2. We say they are cross tt-intersecting families. Moreover, we say they are trivial if each member of them contains a fixed tt-dimensional totally isotropic subspace. In this paper, we show that cross tt-intersecting families with maximum product of sizes are trivial. We also describe the structure of non-trivial tt-intersecting families with maximum product of sizes.
