The number of hypergraphs without linear cycles

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The r-uniform linear k-cycle Ckr is the r-uniform hypergraph on k(r−1) vertices whose edges are sets of r consecutive vertices in a cyclic ordering of the vertex set chosen in such a way that every pair of consecutive edges share exactly one vertex. Here, we prove a balanced supersaturation result for linear cycles which we then use in conjunction with the method of hypergraph containers to show that for any fixed pair of integers r,kge3, the number of Ckr-free r-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices is 2Theta(nr−1), thereby settling a conjecture due to Mubayi and Wang.
