Abstract: Ellis and the third author showed, verifying a conjecture of Frankl, that any 3-wise intersecting family of subsets of 1,2,dots,n admitting a transitive automorphism group has cardinality o(2n), while a construction of Frankl demonstrates that the same conclusion need not hold under the weaker constraint of being regular. Answering a question of Cameron, Frankl and Kantor from 1989, we show that the restriction of admitting a transitive automorphism group may be relaxed significantly: we prove that any 3-wise intersecting family of subsets of 1,2,dots,n that is regular and increasing has cardinality o(2n).
