We prove an analogue of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for intersecting sets of permutations in finite 2-transitive groups. Given a finite group G acting faithfully and 2-transitively on the set X, we show that an intersecting set…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. For $t\geq 1$, we say that $\mathcal{F}$ is {\it 3-wise $t$-intersecting} if $|F_1\cap F_2\cap F_3|\geq t$ for all $F_1,F_2,F_3\in \mathcal{F}$. In the present…

I prove a mass transference principle for general shapes, similar to a recent result by H. Koivusalo and M. Rams. The proof relies on Vitali's covering lemma and manipulations with Riesz energies. The main novelty is that it is proved that…

We solve a generalised form of a conjecture of Kalai motivated by attempts to improve the bounds for Borsuk's problem. The conjecture can be roughly understood as asking for an analogue of the Frankl-R\"odl forbidden intersection theorem in…

We prove a fractional Helly theorem for $k$-flats intersecting fat convex sets. A family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets is said to be $\rho$-fat if every set in the family contains a ball and is contained in a ball such that the ratio of the radii…

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…

Intersecting families and blocking sets feature prominently in extremal combinatorics. We examine the following generalization of an intersecting family investigated by Hajnal, Rothschild, and others. If $s \geq 1$, $k \geq 2$, and $u \geq…

The Erdos-Ko-Rado theorem tells us how large an intersecting family of r-sets from an n-set can be, while results due to Lovasz and Tuza give bounds on the number of singletons that can occur as pairwise intersections of sets from such a…

A family $\mathcal C$ of sets is hereditary if whenever $A\in \mathcal C$ and $B\subset A$, we have $B\in \mathcal C$. Chv\'atal conjectured that the largest intersecting subfamily of a hereditary family is the family of all sets containing…

In 1987, Frankl proved an influential stability result for the Erd\H os--Ko--Rado theorem, which bounds the size of an intersecting family in terms of its distance from the nearest (subset of) star or trivial intersecting family. It is a…

Let $\mathcal{F}\subset 2^{[n]}$ be a set family such that the intersection of any two members of $\mathcal{F}$ has size divisible by $\ell$. The famous Eventown theorem states that if $\ell=2$ then $|\mathcal{F}|\leq 2^{\lfloor…

The K{\L}R conjecture of Kohayakawa, {\L}uczak, and R\"odl is a statement that allows one to prove that asymptotically almost surely all subgraphs of the random graph G_{n,p}, for sufficiently large p : = p(n), satisfy an embedding lemma…

A subset of a group G of Sym(n) is intersecting if for any pair of permutations $\pi,\sigma \in G$ there is an $i$ in {1,2,...,n} such that $\pi(i) = \sigma(i)$. It has been shown, using an algebraic approach, that the largest intersecting…

Given a set of $n$ points in $R^2$, the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem establishes that the number of lines which can be incident to at least $k > 1$ of these points is $O(n^2/k^3 + n/k)$. J.\ Solymosi conjectured that if one requires the…

A theorem of Cobham says that if $k$ and $\ell$ are two multiplicatively independent natural numbers then a subset of the natural numbers that is both $k$- and $\ell$-automatic is eventually periodic. A multidimensional extension was later…

The codegree squared sum ${\rm co}_2(\cal F)$ of a family (hypergraph) $\cal F \subseteq \binom{[n]} k$ is defined to be the sum of codegrees squared $d(E)^2$ over all $E\in \binom{[n]}{k-1}$, where $d(E)=|\{F\in \cal F: E\subseteq F\}|$.…

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…

We study the generalized Tur\'an problem regarding cliques with restricted intersections, which highlights the motivation from extremal set theory. Let $L=\{\ell_1,\dots,\ell_s\}\subset [0,r-1]$ be a fixed integer set with $|L|\notin…

We prove the complete intersection theorem and complete nontrivial-intersection theorem for systems of set partitions

We give a proof of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem using the Borel Fixed Point Theorem from algebraic group theory. This perspective gives a strong analogy between the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem and (generalizations of) the Gerstenhaber…
