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…

The maximum size of $t$-intersecting families is one of the most celebrated topics in combinatorics, and its size is known as the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem. Such intersecting families, also known as constant-weight anticodes in coding…

We show that oriented percolation occurs whenever a condition is satisfied called "exponential intersection tails". This condition says that a measure on paths exists for which the probability of two independent paths intersecting in more…

A permutation sigma in Sn is a k-derangement if for any subset X = {a1, . . ., ak} \subseteq [n], {sigma(a1), . . ., sigma(ak)} is not equal to X. One can form the k-derangement graph on the set of permutations of Sn by connecting two…

Let $V$ be an irreducible principal series representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(q)$ satisfying certain conditions. Two subsets $S_1, S_2 \subseteq \mathrm{GL}_2(q)$ are called cross-$t$-intersecting if $\dim\{v \in V: g_1v = g_2v\} \geqslant t$…

A permutation $\pi$ of a multiset is said to be a {\em quasi-Stirling } permutation if there does not exist four indices $i<j<k<\ell$ such that $\pi_i=\pi_k$ and $\pi_j=\pi_{\ell}$. Define $$ \overline{Q}_{\mathcal{M}}(t,u,v)=\sum_{\pi\in…

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…

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…

We call a family of sets intersecting, if any two sets in the family intersect. In this paper we investigate intersecting families $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-element subsets of $[n]:=\{1,\ldots, n\},$ such that every element of $[n]$ lies in the…

For an integer $d \geq 2$, a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets is $\textit{$d$-wise intersecting}$ if for any distinct sets $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_d \in \mathcal{F}$, $A_1 \cap A_2 \cap \dots \cap A_d \neq \emptyset$, and $\textit{non-trivial}$ if…

Let $\mathcal T_n$ denote the set of all labelled spanning trees of $K_n$. A family $\mathcal F \subset \mathcal T_n$ is $t$-intersecting if for all $A, B \in \mathcal F$ the trees $A$ and $B$ share at least $t$ edges. In this paper, we…

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-$t$-intersecting if each set in $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each set in $\mathcal{B}$ in at least $t$ elements. An active problem in extremal set theory is to determine…
