Hypergraph regularity and the multidimensional Szemerédi theorem

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2482877



Abstract: We prove analogues for hypergraphs of Szemer'edi's regularity lemma and the associated counting lemma for graphs. As an application, we give the first combinatorial proof of the multidimensional Szemer'edi theorem of Furstenberg and Katznelson, and the first proof that provides an explicit bound. Similar results with the same consequences have been obtained independently by Nagle, R"odl, Schacht and Skokan.


In recent years there is huge activity on how to generalize Szemerédi's Regularity and Removal lemmas for hypergraphs. There are different approaches, different results, even different definitions. (See for example [\textit{V. Rödl} and \textit{J. Skokan}, Random Struct. Algorithms 25, No. 1, 1--42 (2004; Zbl 1046.05042), \textit{B. Nagle}, \textit{V. Rödl}, and \textit{M. Schacht}, ibid. 28, 113--179 (2006; Zbl 1093.05045); \textit{T. Tao}, J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 113, 1257--1280 (2006; Zbl 1105.05052 ); \textit{G. Elek} and \textit{B. Szegedy}, Limits of hypergraphs, regularity and removal lemmas. A non-standard approach. \url{http://arxiv1.library.cornell.edu/abs/0705.2179v1}]). The paper under review develops its own versions of the Regularity and Removal lemmas for hypergraphs, and as application it gives the first combinatorial proofs for the multidimensional Szemerédi theorem (and also providing an explicit bound).
