Hypergraph limits: A regularity approach

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A sequence of k-uniform hypergraphs H1,H2,dots is convergent if the sequence of homomorphism densities t(F,H1),t(F,H2),dots converges for every k-uniform hypergraph F. For graphs, Lov'asz and Szegedy showed that every convergent sequence has a limit in the form of a symmetric measurable function Wcolon[0,1]2o[0,1]. For hypergraphs, analogous limits Wcolon[0,1]2k−2o[0,1] were constructed by Elek and Szegedy using ultraproducts. These limits had also been studied earlier by Hoover, Aldous, and Kallenberg in the setting of exchangeable random arrays. In this paper, we give a new proof and construction of hypergraph limits. Our approach is inspired by the original approach of Lov'asz and Szegedy, with the key ingredient being a weak Frieze-Kannan type regularity lemma.
