A note on Erd\"os-Ko-Rado sets of generators in Hermitian polar spaces

The size of the largest Erd\H os-Ko-Rado set of generators in the finite classical polar space is known for all polar spaces except for $H(2d-1,q^2)$ when $d\ge 5$ is odd. We improve the known upper bound in this remaining case by using a variant of the famous Hoffman's bound.
