Abstract: We consider the action of the $2$-dimensional projective special linear group $PSL(2,q)$ on the projective line $PG(1,q)$ over the finite field $F_q$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. A subset $S$ of $PSL(2,q)$ is said to be an intersecting family if for any $g_1,g_{2}inS$, there exists an element $xinPG(1,q)$ such that $x^{g_1}=x^{g_2}$. It is known that the maximum size of an intersecting family in $PSL(2,q)$ is $q(q-1)/2$. We prove that all intersecting families of maximum size are cosets of point stabilizers for all odd prime powers $q>3$.
