Abstract

We extend the hypergraph regularity method to sparse $3$-uniform hypergraphs whose vertex links are $C_4$-free. In other words, we consider hypergraphs $H=(V,E)$ that are $K_{1,2,2}$-free, which implies that $|E|=O(|V|^{5/2})$. For such hypergraphs we establish a sparse analogue of the removal lemma for the tight cycle on seven vertices minus an edge.

Spanning subhypergraphs with degree constraints

An old result of Tutte states that any $d$-regular graph contains a spanning subgraph in which every vertex has degree $k$ or $k+1$, for every $1\leq k\leq d$. We generalize this statement to hypergraphs, showing, for example, that every $3$-uniform $d$-regular hypergraph contains a subgraph in which all degrees are $k...

Every graph with no $K_7^=$ minor is 6-colorable

The first open case of Hadwiger's conjecture states that every $K_7$-minor-free graph is 6-colorable. We prove that this is the case for $K_7^=$-minor-free graphs, where $K_7^=$ denotes the graph obtained from $K_7$ by deleting two independent edges. The proof is based on an independently interesting density result: Ev...

Extremal hypergraphs without generalized 4-cycles

In 1977, Erd\H{o}s posed the problem of determining the maximum number $f_r(n)$ of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph in which all disjoint pairs of edges have distinct unions. F\"uredi later conjectured that, for every fixed $r\ge 4$ and all sufficiently large $n$, $f_r(n)=\binom{n-1}{r-1}+\lfloor \frac{n-1...

Long induced cycles in pseudorandom graphs

We show that, for some absolute constants $c_1,c_2>0$, every $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph with $\lambda\le c_1 d$ contains an induced cycle of length at least $c_2n\log(d/\lambda)/d$. This is best possible up to the values of $c_1,c_2$. Our techniques include a multi-scale algorithmic analysis, an adapted depth-first explorat...

Exact Minimum $d$-Degree Thresholds for Hypergraph Perfect Matchings

For fixed integers $k\ge3$ and $1\le d\le k-1$ and sufficiently large $n\in k\mathbb N$, we establish the sharp minimum $d$-degree thresholds that forces perfect matching in every $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraphs. This was conjectued by Treglown and Zhao, and the $d=1$ case was conjectued by K\"uhn, Osthus and Treglo...

Extremal graphs for disjoint union of stars and paths

Let $F$ be a graph. A graph $G$ is called $F$-free if $G$ does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. Let ${\rm EX}(n,F)$ denote the set of $F$-free graphs of order $n$ with the maximum edges. In this paper, we characterize the graphs in ${\rm EX}(n,F)$ for large $n$, where $F$ is the disjoint union of paths and stars. This ge...
