A set of permutations F of a finite transitive permutation group G ≤ Sym(Ω) is intersecting if any pair of elements of F agree on an element of Ω. We say that G has the EKR property if an intersecting set of G has size at most the order of a point stabilizer. Moreover, G has the strict-EKR property whenever G has the EKR property and any intersecting set of maximum size is a coset of a point stabilizer of G.It is known that the permutation group GL2(Fq) acting on Ωq := F 2 q \ {0} has the EKR property, but does not have the strict-EKR property since the stabilizer of a hyperplane is a maximum intersecting set. In this paper, it is proved that the Hilton-Milner type result does not hold for GL2(Fq) acting on Ωq. Precisely, it is shown that a maximal intersecting set of GL2(Fq) is of maximum size. As a result, we prove the Complete Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for GL2(Fq).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
