A family of subsets of $[n]$ is intersecting if every pair of its sets intersects. Determining the structure of large intersecting families is a central problem in extremal combinatorics. Frankl-Kupavskii and Balogh-Das-Liu-Sharifzadeh-Tran…

Let $\A\subset\binom{[n]}{r}$ be a compressed, intersecting family and let $X\subset[n]$. Let $\A(X)={A\in\A:A\cap X\ne\emptyset}$ and $\S_{n,r}=\binom{[n]}{r}({1})$. Motivated by the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem, Borg asked for which…

In the binomial random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$, when $p$ changes from $(1-\varepsilon)/n$ (subcritical case) to $1/n$ and then to $(1+\varepsilon)/n$ (supercritical case) for $\varepsilon>0$, with high probability the order of the largest…

In this paper we present a simple unifying approach to prove several statements about intersecting and cross-intersecting families, including the Erd\H os--Ko--Rado theorem, the Hilton--Milner theorem, a theorem due to Frankl concerning the…

In this paper we give a proof that the largest set of perfect matchings, in which any two contain a common edge, is the set of all perfect matchings that contain a fixed edge. This is a version of the famous Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for…

The Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado (EKR) theorem and its generalizations can be viewed as classifications of maximum independent sets in appropriately defined families of graphs, such as the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$. In this paper, we investigate the…

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 =…

Let $c$ be a positive constant. We show that if $r=\lfloor cn^{1/3}\rfloor$ and the members of ${[n]\choose r}$ are chosen sequentially at random to form an intersecting hypergraph then with limiting probability $(1+c^3)^{-1}$, as…

Intersecting and cross-intersecting families usually appear in extremal combinatorics in the vein of the Erd{\H o}s--Ko--Rado theorem. On the other hand, P.~Erd{\H o}s and L.~Lov{\'a}sz in the noted paper~\cite{EL} posed problems on…

A perfect matching of a complete graph $K_{2n}$ is a 1-regular subgraph that contains all the vertices. Two perfect matchings intersect if they share an edge. It is known that if $\mathcal{F}$ is family of intersecting perfect matchings of…

In the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) there are n vertices and each of the possible edges is independently present with probability p. The random graph G(n,p) is homogeneous in the sense that all vertices have the same…

Delete the edges of a Kneser graph independently of each other with some probability: for what probabilities is the independence number of this random graph equal to the independence number of the Kneser graph itself? We prove a sharp…

Let integer $n \ge 3$ and integer $r = r(n) \ge 3$. Define the binomial random $r$-uniform hypergraph $H_r(n, p)$ to be the $r$-uniform graph on the vertex set $[n]$ such that each $r$-set is an edge independently with probability $p$. A…

We show that if a simplicial complex is a near-cone of sufficiently high depth, then the only maximum families of small pairwise intersecting faces are those with a common intersection. Thus, near-cones of sufficiently high depth satisfy…

Two families $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set are called cross-intersecting if $A\cap B\ne\emptyset$ for all $A\in \mathcal A, B\in \mathcal B $. Strengthening the classical Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem, Pyber proved…

We study the intersecting family process initially studied in \cite{BCFMR}. Here $k=k(n)$ and $E_1,E_2,\ldots,E_m$ is a random sequence of $k$-sets from $\binom{[n]}{k}$ where $E_{r+1}$ is uniformly chosen from those $k$-sets that are not…
