Turán-type problems for quasirandom hypergraphs
Abstract: Extremal
problems for hypergraphs concern the maximum density of large
hypergraphs H that do not contain a copy of a given hypergraph F.
Estimating the so-called Turán-densities is a central problem in
combinatorics. However, despite a lot of effort precise estimates are
know for only known for very few hypergraphs F.
We consider a variation of the problem, where the large hypergraphs H
satisfy in addition quasirandom conditions on its edge distribution. We
present recent progress based on joint work with Chr. Reiher and V.
Rödl. In particular, we established a computer free proof of a
recent result of Glebov, Kral and Volec on the Turán-density on weakly
quasirandom hypergraphs not containing the 3-uniform hypergraph with
three edges on four vertices.
