Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for vector spaces over residue class rings

Let $h=\prod_{i=1}^{t}p_i^{s_i}$ be its decomposition into a product of powers of distinct primes, and $\mathbb{Z}_{h}$ be the residue class ring modulo $h$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_{h}^{n}$ be the $n$-dimensional row vector space over $\mathbb{Z}_{h}$. A generalized Grassmann graph for $\mathbb{Z}_{h}^n$, denoted by $G_r(m,n,\mathbb{Z}_{h})$ ($G_r$ for short), has all $m$-subspaces of $\mathbb{Z}_{h}^n$ as its vertices, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if their intersection is of dimension $>m-r$, where $2\leq r\leq m+1\leq n$. In this paper, we determine the clique number and geometric structures of maximum cliques of $G_r$. As a result, we obtain the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for $\mathbb{Z}_{h}^{n}$.
