Extremal t-space-intersecting sets in finite general linear groups

Let qq be a prime power and let Gn=GL(n,q)G_n=\operatorname{GL}(n,q). A subset YGnY\subseteq G_n is tt-space-intersecting when every pair of elements of YY is tt-space-intersecting. For positive integers tt and sufficiently large nn compared to tt, space-intersection conjecture. If YY has size equal to the bound in Theorem, then YY is a coset of the stabiliser of a tt-space or a coset of the stabiliser of an (nt)(n-t)-space. This generalises the solved t=1t=1 case attributed to Meagher and Spiga; the general assertion remains open in the supplied text.
