The complete nontrivial-intersection theorem for vector spaces

Abstract

A family of k-subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space over a finite field is t-intersecting if any two members intersect in a subspace of dimension at least t. A t-intersecting family is nontrivial if no t-subspace is contained in all its members. In this paper, we determine the largest nontrivial t-intersecting families for k≥ t+2 and n≥ 2k+1. As a result, the complete nontrivial-intersection theorem for vector spaces is established.

AB  - A family of k-subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space over a finite field is t-intersecting if any two members intersect in a subspace of dimension at least t. A t-intersecting family is nontrivial if no t-subspace is contained in all its members. In this paper, we determine the largest nontrivial t-intersecting families for k≥ t+2 and n≥ 2k+1. As a result, the complete nontrivial-intersection theorem for vector spaces is established.
