Abstract

An nn-vertex kk-uniform hypergraph GG is (d,α)(d,\alpha)-degenerate if m1(G)dm_1(G)\le{d} and there exists a constant ε>0\varepsilon >0 such that for every subset UV(G)U\subseteq{V(G)} with size 2Uεn2\le|U|\le{\varepsilon n}, we have e(G[U])d(U1)αe\left(G[U]\right)\le{d\left(|U|-1\right)-\alpha}. These hypergraphs include many natural graph classes, such as the degenerate hypergraphs, the planar graphs, and the power of cycles. In this paper, we consider the threshold of the emergence of a (d,α)(d,\alpha)-degenerate hypergraph with bounded maximum degree in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi model. We show that its threshold is at most n1/dn^{-1/d}, improving previous results of Riordan and Kelly-M\"uyesser-Pokrovskiy.
