Let $H$ be a $k$-graph (i.e. a $k$-uniform hypergraph). Its minimum codegree $\delta_{k-1}(H)$ is the largest integer $t$ such that every $(k-1)$-subset of $V(H)$ is contained in at least $t$ edges of~$H$. The \emph{codegree Tur\'an…

If $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of graphs then the Tur\'an density of $\mathcal{F}$ is determined by the minimum chromatic number of the members of $\mathcal{F}$. The situation for Tur\'an densities of 3-graphs is far more complex and still…

The Tur\'an density \pi(H) of a family H of k-graphs is the limit as n tends to infinity of the maximum edge density of an H-free k-graph on n vertices. Let I^k consist of all possible Tur\'an densities and let F^k be the set of Tur\'an…

Given a $k$-graph $H$ a complete blow-up of $H$ is a $k$-graph $\hat{H}$ formed by replacing each $v\in V(H)$ by a non-empty vertex class $A_v$ and then inserting all edges between any $k$ vertex classes corresponding to an edge of $H$.…

The $r$-expansion of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, denoted by $H^{(+r)}$, is an $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained by enlarging each $k$-edge of $H$ with a set of $r-k$ vertices of degree one. The random Tur\'an number…

Grosu [On the algebraic and topological structure of the set of Tur\'{a}n densities. \emph{J. Combin. Theory Ser. B} \textbf{118} (2016) 137--185] asked if there exist an integer $r\ge 3$ and a finite family of $r$-graphs whose Tur\'{a}n…

In the 1980s, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os initiated the study of Tur\'an hypergraph problems with a uniformity condition on the distribution of edges, i.e., determining density thresholds for the existence of a hypergraph H in a host hypergraph…

Let $f^{(r)}(n;s,k)$ be the maximum number of edges of an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices not containing a subgraph with $k$ edges and at most $s$ vertices. In 1973, Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os conjectured that the limit $$\lim_{n\to…

Reiher, R\"odl and Schacht [J. London Math. Soc. 97 (2018), 77--97] showed that the uniform Tur\'an density of every $3$-uniform hypergraph is either $0$ or at least $1/27$, and asked whether there exist $3$-uniform hypergraphs with uniform…

The spectral Tur\'an theorem states that the $k$-partite Tur\'an graph is the unique graph attaining the maximum adjacency spectral radius among all graphs of order $n$ containing no the complete graph $K_{k+1}$ as a subgraph. This result…

Given a positive integer $n$ and an $r$-uniform hypergraph (or $r$-graph for short) $F$, the Turan number $ex(n,F)$ of $F$ is the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. The extension…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $r$-graphs. The Tur\'an number $ex_r(n;\mathcal{F})$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph of order $n$ that is $\mathcal{F}$-free. The famous Erd\H{o}s Matching Conjecture shows that…

Given a family of $3$-graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the uniform Tur\'{a}n density $\pi_{\therefore}(\mathcal{F})$ is defined as the infimum $d\in[0,1]$ for which any sufficiently large uniformly $d$-dense $3$-graph - that is, a $3$-graph which has…

This paper is motivated by the question of how global and dense restriction sets in results from extremal combinatorics can be replaced by less global and sparser ones. The result we consider here as an example is Turan's theorem, which…

For integers $1\le \ell<k$, the $\ell$-degree Tur\'an density $\pi_\ell(F)$ measures the minimum $\ell$-degree threshold that forces a copy of a fixed $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$, generalizing both the classical Tur\'an density $\pi_1$ and…
