Let $L$ be a sequence $(\ell_1,\ell_2,\ldots,\ell_n)$ of $n$ lines in $\mathbb{C}^3$. We define the {\it intersection graph} $G_L=([n],E)$ of $L$, where $[n]:=\{1,\ldots, n\}$, and with $\{i,j\}\in E$ if and only if $i\neq j$ and the…

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…

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…

The study of intersecting structures is central to extremal combinatorics. A family of permutations $\mathcal{F} \subset S_n$ is \emph{$t$-intersecting} if any two permutations in $\mathcal{F}$ agree on some $t$ indices, and is…

In this note, we give short proofs of three theorems about intersection problems. The first one is a determination of the maximum size of a nontrivial $k$-uniform, $d$-wise intersecting family for $n\ge \left(1+\frac{d}{2}\right)(k-d+2)$,…

A $k\ell$-subset partition, or $(k,\ell)$-subpartition, is a $k\ell$-subset of an $n$-set that is partitioned into $\ell$ distinct classes, each of size $k$. Two $(k,\ell)$-subpartitions are said to $t$-intersect if they have at least $t$…

We consider the action of the $2$-dimensional projective special linear group $PSL(2,q)$ on the projective line $PG(1,q)$ over the finite field $\F_q$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. A subset $S$ of $PSL(2,q)$ is said to be an…

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…

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…

Let $U$ be a set of polynomials of degree at most $k$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. Assume that $U$ is an intersecting family, that is, the graphs of any two of the polynomials in $U$ share a common point.…

A set $\mathcal{F} \subset \operatorname{Sym}(V)$ is \textsl{intersecting} if any two of its elements agree on some element of $V$. Given a finite transitive permutation group $G\leq \operatorname{Sym}(V)$, the \textsl{intersection density}…

A $(k,\ell)$-partition is a set partition which has $\ell$ blocks each of size $k$. Two uniform set partitions $P$ and $Q$ are said to be partially $t$-intersecting if there exist blocks $P_{i}$ in $P$ and $Q_{j}$ in $Q$ such that $\left|…

For an integer $r \ge 3$ and a subset $L \subset [0,r-1]$, a graph $G$ is $(K_{r}, L)$-intersecting if the number of vertices in the intersection of every pair of $K_r$ in $G$ belongs to $L$. We study the maximum number of $K_r$ in an…

A subset $S$ of a transitive permutation group $G \leq \mathrm{Sym}(n)$ is said to be an intersecting set if, for every $g_{1},g_{2}\in S$, there is an $i \in [n]$ such that $g_{1}(i)=g_{2}(i)$. The stabilizer of a point in $[n]$ and its…
