The expansion of a graph $F$, denoted by $F^3$, is the $3$-graph obtained from $F$ by adding a new vertex to each edge such that different edges receive different vertices. For large $n$, we establish tight upper bounds for: The maximum…

Given a family of $r$-uniform hypergraphs ${\cal F}$ (or $r$-graphs for brevity), the Tur\'an number $ex(n,{\cal F})$ of ${\cal F}$ is the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain any member of ${\cal…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs. We consider the case where $\chi(H)<\chi(F)$. There are several exact results on $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ when the…

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…

We show that $3$-uniform hypergraphs with the property that all vertices have a quasirandom link graph with density bigger than $1/3$ contain a clique on five vertices. This result is asymptotically best possible.

Piga, Sanhueza-Matamala, and Schacht recently established that the codegree Tur\'an density of 3-uniform tight cycles $C_\ell$ is $1/3$ for $\ell\in \{10, 13, 16\}$ and for all $\ell\geq 19$. In this note, we extend their proof to determine…

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…

In this paper, we consider the Tur\'an problems on $\{1,3\}$-hypergraphs. We prove that a $\{1, 3\}$-hypergraph is degenerate if and only if it's $H^{\{1, 3\}}_5$-colorable, where $H^{\{1, 3\}}_5$ is a hypergraph with vertex set $V=[5]$ and…

The $3$-uniform tight $\ell$-cycle minus one edge $C_{\ell}^{3-}$ is the $3$-graph on $\ell$ vertices consisting of $\ell-1$ consecutive triples in the cyclic order. We show that for every integer $\ell \ge 5$ satisfying $\ell\not\equiv…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $3$-uniform linear hypergraphs. The linear Tur\'an number of $\mathcal F$ is the maximum possible number of edges in a $3$-uniform linear hypergraph on $n$ vertices which contains no member of $\mathcal{F}$…

We consider extremal problems for subgraphs of pseudorandom graphs. For graphs $F$ and $\Gamma$ the generalized Tur\'an density $\pi_F(\Gamma)$ denotes the density of a maximum subgraph of $\Gamma$, which contains no copy of~$F$. Extending…

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…

For an odd integer $k$, let $\mathcal{C}_k = \{C_3,C_5,...,C_k\}$ denote the family of all odd cycles of length at most $k$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ denote the family of all odd cycles. Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits \cite{ESi1} conjectured that for…

For graphs $H$ and $F$ with chromatic number $\chi(F)=k$, we call $H$ strictly $F$-Tur\'an-good (or $(H, F)$ strictly Tur\'an-good) if the Tur\'an graph $T_{k-1}(n)$ is the unique $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices containing the largest number…

The $r$-blowup of a graph $F$, denoted by $F[r]$, is the graph obtained by replacing the vertices and edges of $F$ with independent sets of size $r$ and copies of $K_{r,r}$, respectively. For bipartite graphs $F$, very little is known about…

Determining the Tur\'an densities of hypergraphs is a notoriously difficult problem at the core of combinatorics. Although Tur\'an posed this problem in 1941, $\pi(K_{\ell}^{(k)})$ remains unknown for all $\ell>k\geq 3$. Prior to this work,…
