Spectral extremal problems for the $(p,Q)$-spectral radius of hypergraphs
Abstract
Let be an -vertex -uniform hypergraph, and let be an -vertex -uniform hypergraph. Denote by the number of isomorphic copies of in . For a hereditary family of -uniform hypergraphs, define For , the -spectral radius of is defined as %generalizing the concept of the -spectral radius introduced by %Keevash, Lenz, and Mubayi \cite{KLM2014}. In this paper, we present a systematically investigation of the parameter . First, we prove that the limit exists, and for , it satisfies Second, we study spectral generalized Tur\'an problems. Specifically, we establish a spectral stability result and apply it to derive a spectral version of the Erd\H{o}s Pentagon Problem: for and sufficiently large , the balanced blow-up of maximizes among all -vertex triangle-free graphs , thereby improving a result of Liu \cite{Liu2025}. Furthermore, we show that for and sufficiently large , the -partite Tur\'an graph attains the maximum among all -vertex F-free graphs , where is an edge-critical graph with . This provides a spectral analogue of a theorem due to Ma and Qiu \cite{MQ2020}.
