Abstract
In 2017 Gil Kalai asked the speaker about the largest family of t-intersecting spanning trees of the complete graph on n vertices. We will discuss these questions: What motivates this problem? Which common  techniques for EKR-problems fail? How can we actually 
solve the problem? Based on joint work with Peter Frankl, Glenn Hurlbert, Andrey Kupavskii, Nathan Lindzey, Karen Meagher, and Venkata Raghu Tej Pantangi.
