Abstract: Let mathscrL=(X,preceq) be a lattice. For calPsubseteqX we say that calP is t-{it intersecting} if sfrank(xwedgey)get for all x,yincalP. The seminal theorem of ErdH{o}s, Ko and Rado describes the maximum intersecting calP in the lattice of subsets of a finite set with the additional condition that calP is contained within a level of the lattice. The ErdH{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem has been extensively studied and generalized to other objects and lattices. In this paper, we focus on intersecting families of permutations as defined with respect to the weak Bruhat lattice. In this setting, we prove analogs of certain extremal results on intersecting set systems. In particular we give a characterization of the maximum intersecting families of permutations in the Bruhat lattice. We also characterize the maximum intersecting families of permutations within the rextrmth level of the Bruhat lattice of permutations of size n, provided that n is large relative to r.
