contents A family of subsets $\mathcal{F}$ is intersecting if $A \cap B \neq \emptyset$ for any $A, B \in \mathcal{F}$. In this paper, we show that for given integers $k > d \ge 2$ and $n \ge 2k+2d-3$, and any intersecting family $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1, \cdots, n\}$, there exists a $d$-subset of $[n]$ contained in at most $\binom{n-d-1}{k-d-1}$ subsets of $\mathcal{F}$. This result, proved using spectral graph theory, gives a $d$-degree generalization of the celebrated Erdős-Ko-Rado Theorem, improving a theorem of Kupavskii.

A family of subsets $\mathcal{F}$ is intersecting if $A \cap B \neq \emptyset$ for any $A, B \in \mathcal{F}$. In this paper, we show that for given integers $k > d \ge 2$ and $n \ge 2k+2d-3$, and any intersecting family $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1, \cdots, n\}$, there exists a $d$-subset of $[n]$ contained in at most $\binom{n-d-1}{k-d-1}$ subsets of $\mathcal{F}$. This result, proved using spectral graph theory, gives a $d$-degree generalization of the celebrated Erdős-Ko-Rado Theorem, improving a theorem of Kupavskii.
