Determining the structure of large intersecting families is a central problem in extremal combinatorics. Frankl-Kupavskii and Balogh-Das-Liu-Sharifzadeh-Tran independently showed that for $n\\geq 2k + c\\sqrt{k\\ln k}$, almost all $k$-uniform intersecting families are stars. Improving their result, we show that the same conclusion holds for $n\\geq 2k+ 100\\ln k$. Our proof uses, among others, Sapozhenko's graph container lemma and the Das-Tran removal lemma.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-04-07T17:07:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "typically trivial", "sapozhenkos graph container lemma", "das-tran removal lemma", "large intersecting families", "central problem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
