内容概述：

The Erds-Ko-Rado (EKR) theorem is a classical result in extremal set theory. It states that when k < n/2, any family of k-subsets of [n] := {1,2,...,n}, with the property that any two subsets in the family have nonempty intersection, has size at most;equality holds if and only if the family consists of all k-subsets of [n] containing a fixed element.

Here we consider EKR type problems for permutation groups. In par- ticular, we focus on the action of the 2-dimensional projective special linear group PSL(2,q) on the projective line PG(1,q) over the finite field where q is an odd prime power. A subset S of PSL(2,q) is said to be an intersecting family if for any g1,g2 ∈ S, there exists an element x ∈ PG(1,q) such that xg1 = xg2 . It is known that the maximum size of an intersecting family in P SL(2, q) is q(q − 1)/2. We prove that all intersecting families of maximum size must be cosets of point stabilizers for all odd prime powers q > 3. This talk is based on joint work with Ling Long, Rafael Plaza, and Peter Sin.
