Maximal sets of \(k\)-spaces pairwise intersecting in at least a \((k-2)\)-space (Q2121804)

Summary: In this paper, we analyze the structure of maximal sets of \(k\)-dimensional spaces in \(\text{PG}(n,q)\) pairwise intersecting in at least a \((k-2)\)-dimensional space, for \(3 \leqslant k\leqslant n-2\). We give an overview of the largest examples of these sets with size more than \(f(k,q)=\max\{3q^4+6q^3+5q^2+q+1,\theta_{k+1}+q^4+2q^3+3q^2\}\).
