Some intersection theorems for finite sets

Let $n$, $r$, $k_1,\ldots,k_r$ and $t$ be positive integers with $r\geq 2$, and $\mathcal{F}_i\ (1\leq i\leq r)$ a family of $k_i$-subsets of an $n$-set $V$. The families $\mathcal{F}_1,\ \mathcal{F}_2,\ldots,\mathcal{F}_r$ are said to be $r$-cross $t$-intersecting if $|F_1\cap F_2\cap\cdots\cap F_r|\geq t$ for all $F_i\in\mathcal{F}_i\ (1\leq i\leq r),$ and said to be non-trivial if $|\cap_{1\leq i\leq r}\cap_{F\in\mathcal{F}_i}F|<t$. If the $r$-cross $t$-intersecting families $\mathcal{F}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{F}_r$ satisfy $\mathcal{F}_1=\cdots=\mathcal{F}_r=\mathcal{F}$, then $\mathcal{F}$ is well known as $r$-wise $t$-intersecting family. In this paper, we describe the structure of non-trivial $r$-wise $t$-intersecting families with maximum size, and give a stability result for these families. We also determine the structure of non-trivial $2$-cross $t$-intersecting families with maximum product of their sizes.
