Abstract

In this paper we consider the derangement graph for the group PSU(3,q)\textrm{PSU}(3,q) where qq is a prime power. We calculate all eigenvalues for this derangement graph and use these eigenvalues to prove that PSU(3,q)\textrm{PSU}(3,q) has the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado property and, provided that q2,5q\neq 2, 5, another property that we call the {\textsl Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado module property}.
