Non-trivial $t$-intersecting families for vector spaces

Abstract

Let VV be an nn-dimensional vector space over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q. In this paper we describe the structure of maximal non-trivial tt-intersecting families of kk-dimensional subspaces of VV with large size. We also determine the non-trivial tt-intersecting families with maximum size. In the special case when t=1t=1 our result gives rise to the well-known Hilton-Milner Theorem for vector spaces.
