Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph. The Tur\'{a}n number $\text{ex}(n,\mathcal{H})$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $\mathcal{H}$-free $r$-uniform hypergraph. The Tur\'{a}n density of $\mathcal{H}$ is defined by…

Tur\'an problems, which concern the minimum density threshold required for the existence of a particular substructure, are among the most fundamental problems in extremal combinatorics. We study Tur\'an problems for hypergraphs with an…

The $3$-uniform tight $\ell$-cycle $C_\ell^{3}$ is the $3$-graph on $\{1,\dots,\ell\}$ consisting of all $\ell$ consecutive triples in the cyclic order. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be either the pair $\{C_{4}^{3}, C_{5}^{3}\}$ or the single tight…

We show that there is a constant $c$ such that any 3-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal H$ with $n$ vertices and at least $cn^{5/2}$ edges contains a triangulation of the real projective plane as a subgraph. This resolves a conjecture of…

The {\em Tur\'an number} of an $r$-uniform graph $F$, denoted by $ex(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free $r$-uniform graph on $n$ vertices. The {\em Tur\'{a}n density} of $F$ is defined as…

We prove that, for every integer $r\ge 3$, the set $\Pi^{(r)}_\infty$ of Tur\'an densities of (possibly infinite) families of $r$-graphs contains non-degenerate intervals, including an interval of the form $[1-\delta_r,1]$ for some…

Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of $r$-graphs, the Tur\'{a}n number of $\mathcal{F}$ for a given positive integer $N$, denoted by $ex(N,\mathcal{F})$, is the maximum number of edges of an $r$-graph on $N$ vertices that does not contain any…

A classical result of Sidorenko (1989) shows that the Tur\'{a}n density of every $r$-uniform hypergraph with three edges is bounded from above by $1/2$. For even $r$, this bound is tight, as demonstrated by Mantel's theorem on triangles and…

Recently, Berge theta hypergraphs have received special attention due to the similarity with Berge even cycles. Let $r$-uniform Berge theta hypergraph $\Theta_{\ell,t}^{B}$ be the $r$-uniform hypergraph consisting of $t$ internally disjoint…

Unlike graphs, determining Tur\'{a}n densities of hypergraphs is known to be notoriously hard in general. The essential reason is that for many classical families of $r$-uniform hypergraphs $\mathcal{F}$, there are perhaps many…

In this paper we investigate density conditions for finding a complete $r$-uniform hypergraph $K_{r+1}^{(r)}$ on $r+1$ vertices in an $(r+1)$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$. First we prove an optimal condition in terms of the densities…

For integers $q\ge p\ge r\ge2$, we say that an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ has property $(q,p)$, if for any $q$-vertex subset $Q$ of $V(H)$, there exists a $p$-vertex subset $P$ of $Q$ spanning a clique in $H$. Let $T_{r}(n,q,p)=\min\{ e(H):…

Let $C^{2k}_r$ be the $2k$-uniform hypergraph obtained by letting $P_1,...,P_r$ be pairwise disjoint sets of size $k$ and taking as edges all sets $P_i \cup P_j$ with $i \neq j$. This can be thought of as the `$k$-expansion' of the complete…

For positive integers $n\ge s> r$, the Tur\'an function $T(n,s,r)$ is the smallest size of an r-graph with n vertices such that every set of s vertices contains at least one edge. Also, define the Tur\'an density $t(s,r)$ as the limit of…

Let $U$ be a uniform matroid. For all positive integers $n$ and $r$ with $n \ge r$, what is the maximum number of bases of an $n$-element, rank-$r$ matroid without $U$ as a minor? We show that this question arises by restricting the problem…

We study 3-random-like graphs, that is, sequences of graphs in which the densities of triangles and anti-triangles converge to 1/8. Since the random graph ${\mathcal G}_{n,1/2}$ is, in particular, 3-random-like, this can be viewed as a weak…

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 Lagrangian density of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is $r!$ multiplying the supremum of the Lagrangians of all $H$-free $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For an $r$-uniform graph $H$ with $t$ vertices, it is clear that $\pi_{\lambda}(H)\ge…

An $r$-daisy is an $r$-uniform hypergraph consisting of the six $r$-sets formed by taking the union of an $(r-2)$-set with each of the 2-sets of a disjoint 4-set. Bollob\'as, Leader and Malvenuto, and also Bukh, conjectured that the Tur\'an…
