A hypergraph blow-up lemma

We obtain a hypergraph generalisation of the graph blow-up lemma proved by Komlos, Sarkozy and Szemeredi, showing that hypergraphs with sufficient regularity and no atypical vertices behave as if they were complete for the purpose of embedding bounded degree hypergraphs.Comment: 102 pages, 1 figure, to appear in Random Structures and Algorithm

Counting in hypergraphs via regularity inheritance

We develop a theory of regularity inheritance in 3-uniform hypergraphs. As a simple consequence we deduce a strengthening of a counting lemma of Frankl and Rödl. We believe that the approach is sufficiently flexible and general to permit extensions of our results in the direction of a hypergraph blow-up lemma

Transversals via regularity

Given graphs $G_1,\ldots,G_s$ all on the same vertex set and a graph $H$ with $e(H) \leq s$, a copy of $H$ is transversal or rainbow if it contains at most one edge from each $G_c$. When $s=e(H)$, such a copy contains exactly one edge from each $G_i$. We study the case when $H$ is spanning and explore how the regularity blow-up method, that has been so successful in the uncoloured setting, can be used to find transversals. We provide the analogues of the tools required to apply this method in the transversal setting. Our main result is a blow-up lemma for transversals that applies to separable bounded degree graphs $H$. Our proofs use weak regularity in the $3$-uniform hypergraph whose edges are those $xyc$ where $xy$ is an edge in the graph $G_c$. We apply our lemma to give a large class of spanning $3$-uniform linear hypergraphs $H$ such that any sufficiently large uniformly dense $n$-vertex $3$-uniform hypergraph with minimum vertex degree $\Omega(n^2)$ contains $H$ as a subhypergraph. This extends work of Lenz, Mubayi and Mycroft

Strong Jumps and Lagrangians of Non-Uniform Hypergraphs

The hypergraph jump problem and the study of Lagrangians of uniform hypergraphs are two classical areas of study in the extremal graph theory. In this paper, we refine the concept of jumps to strong jumps and consider the analogous problems over non-uniform hypergraphs. Strong jumps have rich topological and algebraic structures. The non-strong-jump values are precisely the densities of the hereditary properties, which include the Tur\'an densities of families of hypergraphs as special cases. Our method uses a generalized Lagrangian for non-uniform hypergraphs. We also classify all strong jump values for $\{1,2\}$-hypergraphs.Comment: 19 page
