Intersection problems occupy an important place in the theory of finite sets. One of the central notions is that of a r-wise t-intersecting family, that is, a collection F 1,…, F m of distinct subsets of the n-element set X such that| F i l ψ… ψF i r|≥ t holds for all choices of 1≤ i l<…< i r≤ m. What is the maximal size m= m (n, r, t) of a r-wise t-intersecting family? Taking all subsets containing a fixed t-element set shows that m (n, r, t)≥ 2 n− t holds for all n≥ t≥ 0. One of the main results of the paper is that m (n, r, t)= 2 n− t holds if and only if n< r+t or t≤ 2 r− r− 1 with the possible (but unlikely) exception of the case (r, t)=(3, 4). Many more best possible results are obtained. Another one is the following. Suppose that G l,…, G r are cross t-intersecting (see definition in the paper) and t≤ 2 r− r− 2, then| G 1|| G 2|·…·| G r|≤ 2 r (n− t).
