Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the intersection problem between two linear sets in the projective line over a finite field. In particular, we analyze the intersection between two clubs with eventually different maximum fields of linearity. Also, we analyze the intersection between the linear set defined by the polynomial $$ and other linear sets having the same rank; this family contains the linear set of pseudoregulus type defined by $x^q$. The strategy relies on the study of certain algebraic curves whose rational points describe the intersection of the two linear sets. Among other geometric and algebraic tools, function field theory and the Hasse-Weil bound play a crucial role. As an application, we give asymptotic results on semifields of BEL-rank two.
