报告题目：Erdos-Ko-Rado Type Theorems for Permutation Groups
报告摘要：The Erdos-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 {1, 2, …, n}, with the property that any two subsets in the family have nonempty intersection, has size at most ${n-1\choose k-1}$; equality holds if and only if the family consists of all k-subsets of {1, 2, …, n} containing a fixed element.
Here we consider EKR type problems for permutation groups. In particular, 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 ${\mathbb F}_q$, where q is an odd prime power. A subset S of PSL(2,q) is said to be an intersecting family if for any $g_1,g_2 \in S$, there exists an element $x\in PG(1,q)$ such that $x^{g_1}= x^{g_2}$. It is known that the maximum size of an intersecting family in PSL(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.
