On finite set-systems whose every intersection is a kernel of a star (Q787982)

Let a collection of k element sets have property t if every set that is a pairwise intersection of two of the sets is the common pairwise intersection of t of the sets. The outline of a proof is given here that any collection J of k element sets has a subcollection with property t whose size is at least c(k,t) times that of J, for a given small value of c(k,t). Some consequences are also given.
