Intersecting families in the alternating group and direct product of symmetric groups
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 14 (2007)
Let $S_{n}$ denote the symmetric group on $[n]=\{1, \ldots, n\}$. A family $I \subseteq S_{n}$ is intersecting if any two elements of $I$ have at least one common entry. It is known that the only intersecting families of maximal size in $S_{n}$ are the cosets of point stabilizers. We show that, under mild restrictions, analogous results hold for the alternating group and the direct product of symmetric groups.
