A $k$-uniform family of subsets of $[n]$ is intersecting if it does not contain a disjoint pair of sets. The study of intersecting families is central to extremal set theory, dating back to the seminal Erdos--Ko--Rado theorem of 1961 that bounds the size of the largest such families. A recent trend has been to investigate the structure of set families with few disjoint pairs. Friedgut and Regev proved a general removal lemma, showing that when $\gamma n \le k \le (\tfrac12 - \gamma)n$, a set…
Structure and properties of large intersecting families
A conclusive version of Frankl's theorem on intersecting families with bounded maximal degree is proved, which strengthens the results obtained by Frankl, Frankl and Tokushige, Kupavskii and Zakharov and others.

A family of subsets F ⊆ ( [n] k ) is called intersecting if any two of its members share a common element. Consider an intersecting family, a direct problem is to determine its maximal size and the

This paper investigates supersaturation extensions, which in this context ask for the minimum number of disjoint pairs that must appear in families larger than the extremal threshold, and determines the structure of the optimal families.

For positive integers n and k with n > 2 k + 1, the Kneser graph K ( n, k ) is the graph with vertex set consisting of all k -sets of { 1 , . . . , n } , where two k -sets are adjacent exactly when
Friedgut-Kalai-Naor Theorem for Slices of the Boolean Cube
It is proved that if a Boolean function f is close (in $L^2$-distance) to an affine function $\ell(x_1,...,x_n) = c_0 + \sum_i c_i x_i$, then $f$ is close to a Boolean affinefunction (which necessarily depends on at most one coordinate).

It is proved that every intersecting family of k-sets is almost contained in a dictatorship, a 1-junta (which by the Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem is a maximal intersectingfamily), and the methods combine traditional combinatorics with results stemming from the theory of Boolean functions and discrete Fourier analysis.

A rough structural characterisation of the most probably intersecting families is provided and, for families of particular sizes, the initial segment of the lexicographic order is optimal.
On the measure of intersecting families, uniqueness and stability
It is proved, for a certain range of parameters, that the t-intersecting families of maximal measure are the families of all sets containing t fixed elements, and that the extremal examples are not only unique, but also stable.

We investigate the asymptotic version of the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for the random $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}^k(n,p)$. For $2 \leq k(n) \leq n/2$, let $N=\binom{n}k$ and $D=\binom{n-k}k$.

The exact maximum is determined in this paper for some small i.e. families consisting of k-element subsets, but the exact solution is obtained only when the size of the family exceeds the maximumsize of the intersecting family only by one.
Compressions and Probably Intersecting Families
This paper shows that the families [n](≥r) = {A ⊂ [n]: |A| ≥ r} are optimal for the appropriate values of i, thereby proving the conjecture for this sequence of values.
