contents Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For each integer $k\geq 1$, let $S_{n,k}$ be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles. A subset $H\subseteq S_{n,k}$ is to be a matching if $π_1$ and $π_2$ do not have any common cycles for all distinct $π_1,π_2\in H$. The matching number of a family $\mathcal A\subseteq S_{n,k}$ is denoted by $ν_{p}(\mathcal A)$ and is defined to be the size of the largest matching in $\mathcal A$. In this paper, we determine the maximum size of a family $\mathcal A\subseteq S_{n,k}$ subject to the condition $ν_p(\mathcal A)\leq s$.

Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For each integer $k\geq 1$, let $S_{n,k}$ be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles. A subset $H\subseteq S_{n,k}$ is to be a matching if $π_1$ and $π_2$ do not have any common cycles for all distinct $π_1,π_2\in H$. The matching number of a family $\mathcal A\subseteq S_{n,k}$ is denoted by $ν_{p}(\mathcal A)$ and is defined to be the size of the largest matching in $\mathcal A$. In this paper, we determine the maximum size of a family $\mathcal A\subseteq S_{n,k}$ subject to the condition $ν_p(\mathcal A)\leq s$.
