Abstract: The expansion G+ of a graph G is the 3-uniform hypergraph obtained from G by enlarging each edge of G with a vertex disjoint from V(G) such that distinct edges are enlarged by distinct vertices. Let exr(n,F) denote the maximum number of edges in an r-uniform hypergraph with n vertices not containing any copy of F. The authors cite{KMV} recently determined ex3(n,G+) more generally, namely when G is a path or cycle, thus settling conjectures of F"uredi-Jiang cite{FJ} (for cycles) and F"uredi-Jiang-Seiver cite{FJS} (for paths). Here we continue this project by determining the asymptotics for ex3(n,G+) when G is any fixed forest. This settles a conjecture of F"uredi cite{Furedi}. Using our methods, we also show that for any graph G, either ex3(n,G+)leqleft(frac12+o(1)ight)n2 or ex3(n,G+)geq(1+o(1))n2, thereby exhibiting a jump for the Tur'an number of expansions.
