Frankl's even-parity conjecture for t-intersecting k-Sperner families

Let nn and tt be integers with n+tn+t even and n>tn>t, and let F2[n]{\mathcal F}\subseteq 2^{[n]} be a tt-intersecting family, meaning that FFt|F\cap F'|\geq t for all F,FFF,F'\in{\mathcal F}, and a kk-Sperner family, meaning that it contains no chain of k+1k+1 distinct sets under inclusion. Frankl's conjecture. One has

Fi=0k1(nn+t2+i).|{\mathcal F}|\leq\sum_{i=0}^{k-1}\binom{n}{\frac{n+t}{2}+i}.

The bound is tight if true, attained by i=0k1([n]n+t2+i)\bigcup_{i=0}^{k-1}\binom{[n]}{\frac{n+t}{2}+i}.
