A cross-intersecting Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado set of generators of a finite classical polar space is a pair $(Y, Z)$ of sets of generators such that all $y \in Y$ and $z \in Z$ intersect in at least a point. We provide upper bounds on $|Y| \cdot…

In this paper we investigate Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorems in ovoidal circle geometries. We prove that in M\"obius planes of even order greater than 2, and ovoidal Laguerre planes of odd order, the largest families of circles which pairwise…

Ahlswede and Khachatrian's diametric theorem is a weighted version of their complete intersection theorem, itself an extension of the $t$-intersecting Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem. Their intersection theorem says that the maximum size of 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…

We give a canonical partition of shifted intersecting set systems, from which one can obtain unified and elementary proofs of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado and Hilton-Milner Theorem, as well as a characterization of maximal shifted $k$-uniform…

Let $ k, m, n $ be positive integers with $ k \geq 2 $. A $ k $-multiset of $ [n]_m $ is a collection of $ k $ integers from the set $ \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $ in which the integers can appear more than once but at most $ m $ times. A family…

A $k$-uniform family of subsets of $[n]$ is intersecting if it does not contain a disjoint pair of sets. The study of intersecting families is central to extremal set theory, dating back to the seminal Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem of 1961 that…

The typical extremal problem asks how large a structure can be without containing a forbidden substructure. The Erd\H{o}s-Rothschild problem, introduced in 1974 by Erd\H{o}s and Rothschild in the context of extremal graph theory, is a…

We investigate the asymptotic version of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for the random $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}^k(n,p)$. For $2 \leq k(n) \leq n/2$, let $N=\binom{n}k$ and $D=\binom{n-k}k$. We show that with probability tending to…

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…

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…

The Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem is extended to designs in semilattices with certain conditions. As an application, we show the intersection theorems for the Hamming schemes, the Johnson schemes, bilinear forms schemes, Grassmann schemes,…

The seminal Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado (EKR) theorem states that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set $X$ for $k\leq n/2$ such that every pair of subsets in $\mathcal{F}$ has a nonempty intersection, then $\mathcal{F}$…

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 $d(E)=|\{F\in \cal F: E\subseteq F\}|$.…

The classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem on the size of an intersecting family of $k$-subsets of the set $[n] = \{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ is one of the fundamental intersection theorems for set systems. After the establishment of the EKR theorem,…

This paper proves a stability result for a variation of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem in the context of polynomials over finite fields. Let $\mathcal F$ be a family of polynomials of degree at most $k \geq 3$ in $\mathbb F_q[X]$. Call…

The Erd\H os Matching Conjecture states that the maximum size $f(n,k,s)$ of a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ that does not contain $s$ pairwise disjoint sets is $\max\{|\mathcal{A}_{k,s}|,|\mathcal{B}_{n,k,s}|\}$, where…

A family of sets is said to be \emph{intersecting} if any two sets in the family have nonempty intersection. In 1973, Erd\H{o}s raised the problem of determining the maximum possible size of a union of $r$ different intersecting families of…

The hypergraph Zarankiewicz's problem, introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1964, asks for the maximum number of hyperedges in an $r$-partite hypergraph with $n$ vertices in each part that does not contain a copy of $K_{t,t,\ldots,t}$. Erd\H{o}s…

Two families of sets $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are called cross-$t$-intersecting if $|A\cap B|\ge t$ for all $A\in \mathcal{A}$, $B\in \mathcal{B}$. An active problem in extremal set theory is to determine the maximum product of sizes…
