A note on hypergraph extensions of Mantel's theorem

Abstract

Chao and Yu introduced an entropy method for hypergraph Tur\'an problems, and used it to show that the family of k/2\lfloor k/2\rfloor kk-uniform tents have Tur\'an density k!/kkk!/k^k. Il'kovi\v{c} and Yan improved this by reducing to a subfamily of k/e\lceil k/e\rceil tents. In this note, enhancing Il'kovi\v{c}-Yan's result, we give a significantly shorter entropy proof, with optimal bounds within this framework.
