For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $I$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in I$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density $\rho(G)$ of a…

For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $\mathcal{F}$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in \mathcal{F}$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density…

We prove that every 2-transitive group has a property called the EKR-module property. This property gives a characterization of the maximum intersecting sets of permutations in the group. Specifically, the characteristic vector of any…

A subset in a group $G \leq Sym(n)$ is intersecting if for any pair of permutations $\pi,\sigma$ in the subset there is an $i \in \{1,2,\dots,n\}$ such that $\pi(i) = \sigma(i)$. If the stabilizer of a point is the largest intersecting set…

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…

Let $G\leqslant\mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be transitive, and let $S$ be an intersecting subset, namely, the ratio $xy^{-1}$ of any elements $x,y\in S$ fixes some point. An EKR-type problem is to characterize transitive groups…

Given two positive integers $n\geq 3$ and $t\leq n$, the permutations $\sigma,\pi \in \operatorname{Sym}(n)$ are $t$-setwise intersecting if they agree (setwise) on a $t$-subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. A family $\mathcal{F} \subset…

Two elements $g$ and $h$ of a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$ are said to be intersecting if $g(v) = h(v)$ for some $v \in V$. More generally, a subset ${\cal F}$ of $G$ is an intersecting set if every pair of elements of ${\cal…

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…

In the recent years, the generalization of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado (EKR) theorem to permutation groups has been of much interest. A transitive group is said to satisfy the EKR-module property if the characteristic vector of every maximum…

In this paper, we study intersecting sets in primitive and quasiprimitive permutation groups. Let $G \leqslant \mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be a transitive permutation group, and ${S}$ an intersecting set. Previous results show that if $G$ is…

A family of permutations $A \subset S_n$ is said to be \emph{$t$-set-intersecting} if for any two permutations $\sigma, \pi \in A$, there exists a $t$-set $x$ whose image is the same under both permutations, i.e. $\sigma(x)=\pi(x)$. We…

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…
