A family of permutations $A \subset S_n$ is said to be \emph{$t$-set-intersecting} if for any two permutations $\sigma, \pi \in A$, there exists a $t$-set $x$ whose image is the same under both permutations, i.e. $\sigma(x)=\pi(x)$. We…

A set of permutations $I \subset S_n$ is said to be {\em k-intersecting} if any two permutations in $I$ agree on at least $k$ points. We show that for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$, if $n$ is sufficiently large depending on $k$, then the largest…

A family of permutations A \subset S_n is said to be intersecting if any two permutations in A agree at some point, i.e. for any \sigma, \pi \in A, there is some i such that \sigma(i)=\pi(i). Deza and Frankl showed that for such a family,…

We prove that for $n$ sufficiently large, if $A$ is a family of permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ with no two permutations in $\mathcal{A}$ agreeing exactly once, then $|\mathcal{A}| \leq (n-2)!$, with equality holding only if…

A family of permutations $\mathcal{F} \subset S_{n}$ is said to be $t$-intersecting if any two permutations in $\mathcal{F}$ agree on at least $t$ points. It is said to be $(t-1)$-intersection-free if no two permutations in $\mathcal{F}$…

We prove that there exists a constant $c_0$ such that for any $t \in \mathbb{N}$ and any $n\geq c_0 t$, if $A \subset S_n$ is a $t$-intersecting family of permutations then$|A|\leq (n-t)!$. Furthermore, if $|A|\ge 0.75(n-t)!$ then there…

Let S(n) be the symmetric group on n points. A subset S of S(n) is intersecting if for any pair of permutations \pi, \sigma in S there is a point i in {1,...,n} such that \pi(i)=\sigma(i). Deza and Frankl \cite{MR0439648} proved that if S a…

Let $\mathcal{S}_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. A family $\mathcal{F}\subset \mathcal{S}_n$ is called intersecting if for every $\sigma,\pi\in \mathcal{F}$ there exists some $i\in [n]$ such that…

A set of permutations of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ is $t$-intersecting if any two permutations agree on at least $t$ inputs. A recent work by Kupavskii, in the spirit of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem, shows that for all $t\leq…

For any $\epsilon>0$ and $n>(1+\epsilon)t$, $n>n_0(\epsilon)$ we determine the size of the largest $t$-intersecting family of permutations, as well as give a sharp stability result. This resolves a conjecture of Ellis, Friedgut and Pilpel…

Ellis, Friedgut and Pilpel proved that for large enough $n$, a $t$-intersecting family of permutations contains at most $(n-t)!$ permutations. Their main theorem also states that equality holds only for $t$-cosets. We show that their proof…

Let ${\mathcal G}$ be a family of subsets of an $n$-element set. The family ${\mathcal G}$ is called $3$-wise $t$-intersecting if the intersection of any three subsets in ${\mathcal G}$ is of size at least $t$. For a real number $p\in(0,1)$…

Given two positive integers $n\geq 3$ and $t\leq n$, the permutations $\sigma,\pi \in \operatorname{Sym}(n)$ are $t$-setwise intersecting if they agree (setwise) on a $t$-subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. A family $\mathcal{F} \subset…

A family of perfect matchings of $K_{2n}$ is $t$-$intersecting$ if any two members share $t$ or more edges. We prove for any $t \in \mathbb{N}$ that every $t$-intersecting family of perfect matchings has size no greater than $(2(n-t) -…

Two families $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set are called $s$-almost cross-$t$-intersecting if each member in $\mathcal{F}$ (resp. $\mathcal{G}$) is $t$-disjoint with at most $s$ members in $\mathcal{G}$ (resp.…

We say that a set $A$ \emph{$t$-intersects} a set $B$ if $A$ and $B$ have at least $t$ common elements. Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are said to be \emph{cross-$t$-intersecting} if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ $t$-intersects…

A family $F$ of sets is said to be $t$-intersecting if $|A \cap B| \geq t$ for any $A,B \in F$. The seminal Complete Intersection Theorem of Ahlswede and Khachatrian (1997) gives the maximal size $f(n,k,t)$ of a $t$-intersecting family of…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For a positive integer $k$, define $S_{n,k}$ to be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles, i.e., \[ S_{n,k} = \{\pi \in S_{n}: \pi =…

In this paper we consider the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado property for both $2$-pointwise and $2$-setwise intersecting permutations. Two permutations $\sigma,\tau \in Sym(n)$ are $t$-setwise intersecting if there exists a $t$-subset $S$ of…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is called a $t$-intersecting family if $|F\cap G| \geq t$ for any two members $F, G \in \mathcal{F}$ and for some positive integer $t$. If $t=1$, then we call the family $\mathcal{F}$…
