Localised graph Maclaurin inequalities

Combinatorics 2023-01-31 v1

Abstract

The Maclaurin inequalities for graphs are a broad generalisation of the classical theorems of Tur\'an and Zykov. In a nutshell they provide an asymptotically sharp answer to the following question: what is the maximum number of cliques of size qq in a Kr+1K_{r+1}-free graph with a given number of cliques of size ss? We prove an extensions of the graph Maclaurin inequalities with a weight function that captures the local structure of the graph. As a corollary, we settle a recent conjecture of Kirsch and Nir, which simultaneously encompass the previous localised results of Brada\v{c}, Malec and Tompkins and of Kirsch and Nir.
