The Kneser graph ${\rm KG}_{n,k}$ is a graph whose vertex set is the family of all $k$-subsets of $[n]$ and two vertices are adjacent if their corresponding subsets are disjoint. The classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem determines the…

In this paper, we provide a common generalization to the well-known Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem, Frankl-Wilson Theorem, Alon-Babai-Suzuki Theorem, and Snevily Theorem on set systems with $\mathcal{L}$-intersections. As a consequence, we…

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…

In this paper we prove an Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado-type theorem for intersecting sets of permutations. We show that an intersecting set of maximal size in the projective general linear group PGL(3,q), in its natural action on the points of the…

The study of intersection problems on families of sets is one of the most important topics in extremal combinatorics. As we all know, the extremal problems involving certain intersection constraints are equivalent to that with the union…

The main object of this paper is to determine the maximum number of $\{0,\pm 1\}$-vectors subject to the following condition. All vectors have length $n$, exactly $k$ of the coordinates are $+1$ and one is $-1$, $n \geq 2k$. Moreover, there…

A subset $Y$ of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ is called $t$-intersecting if $\operatorname{rk}(x-y)\le n-t$ for all $x,y\in Y$, or equivalently $x$ and $y$ agree pointwise on a $t$-dimensional subspace of…

A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is {\it $t$-intersecting} if the cardinality of the intersection of every pair of sets in $\mathcal{A}$ is at least $t$, and is an {\it $r$-family} if every set in $\mathcal{A}$ has cardinality $r$. A…

The canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for any graph $H$, any edge-coloring (with an arbitrary number of colors) of a sufficiently large complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic, lexicographic, or rainbow copy…

A subset $S$ of the alternating group on $n$ points is {\it intersecting} if for any pair of permutations $\pi,\sigma$ in $S$, there is an element $i\in \{1,\dots,n\}$ such that $\pi(i)=\sigma(i)$. We prove that if $S$ is intersecting, then…

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…

Chow rings of toric varieties, which originate in intersection theory, feature a rich combinatorial structure of independent interest. We survey four different ways of computing in these rings, due to Billera, Brion, Fulton--Sturmfels, and…

An Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado set in a block design is a set of pairwise intersecting blocks. In this article we study Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado sets in 2-(v,k,1) designs, Steiner systems. The Steiner triple systems and other special classes are treated…

A $k$-partition of an $n$-set $X$ is a collection of $k$ pairwise disjoint non-empty subsets whose union is $X$. A family of $k$-partitions of $X$ is called $t$-intersecting if any two of its members share at least $t$ blocks. A…

We amalgamate two generalizations of Ramsey's Theorem--Ramsey classes and the Erd\H{o}s-Rado Theorem--into the notion of a combinatorial Erd\H{o}s-Rado class. These classes are closely related to Erd\H{o}s-Rado classes, which are those from…

The study of extremal problems on triangle areas was initiated in a series of papers by Erd\H{o}s and Purdy in the early 1970s. In this paper we present new results on such problems, concerning the number of triangles of the same area that…

In 1981, Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal asked whether the sum of the reciprocals of the odd cycle lengths in a graph with infinite chromatic number is necessarily infinite. Let $\mathcal{C}(G)$ be the set of cycle lengths in a graph $G$ and let…

We consider the following higher-order analog of the Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem. For positive integers r and n with r<= n, let M^r_n be the family of all matchings of size r in the complete graph K_{2n}. For any edge e in E(K_{2n}), the…

The \emph{intersection density} of a finite transitive group $G\leq \operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ is the rational number $\rho(G)$ given by the ratio between the maximum size of a subset of $G$ in which any two permutations agree on some…

An extremal graph for a graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum number of edges that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $T_{n,r}$ be the Tur\'{a}n graph, which is the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices…
