Number of lines in hypergraphs

Combinatorics 2021-10-26 v1

Abstract

Chen and Chv\'atal introduced the notion of lines in hypergraphs; they proved that every 3-uniform hypergraph with nn vertices either has a line that consists of all nn vertices or else has at least log2n\log_2 n distinct lines. We improve this lower bound by a factor of 2o(1)2-o(1).
