Perfect Packings in Quasirandom Hypergraphs II
For each of the notions of hypergraph quasirandomness that have been studied,
we identify a large class of hypergraphs F so that every quasirandom hypergraph
H admits a perfect F-packing. An informal statement of a special case of our
general result for 3-uniform hypergraphs is as follows. Fix an integer r >= 4
and 0<p<1. Suppose that H is an n-vertex triple system with r|n and the
following two properties:
* for every graph G with V(G)=V(H), at least p proportion of the triangles in
G are also edges of H,
* for every vertex x of H, the link graph of x is a quasirandom graph with
density at least p.
Then H has a perfect -packing. Moreover, we show that neither
hypotheses above can be weakened, so in this sense our result is tight. A
similar conclusion for this special case can be proved by Keevash's hypergraph
blowup lemma, with a slightly stronger hypothesis on H.Comment: 17 page
Packing k-partite k-uniform hypergraphs
Let and be -graphs (-uniform hypergraphs); then a perfect
-packing in is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of in
which together cover every vertex of . For any fixed let
be the minimum such that any -graph on vertices with
minimum codegree contains a perfect -packing. The
problem of determining has been widely studied for graphs (i.e.
-graphs), but little is known for . Here we determine the
asymptotic value of for all complete -partite -graphs ,
as well as a wide class of other -partite -graphs. In particular, these
results provide an asymptotic solution to a question of R\"odl and Ruci\'nski
on the value of when is a loose cycle. We also determine
asymptotically the codegree threshold needed to guarantee an -packing
covering all but a constant number of vertices of for any complete
-partite -graph .Comment: v2: Updated with minor corrections. Accepted for publication in

Completing Partial Packings of Bipartite Graphs
Given a bipartite graph and an integer , let be the smallest
integer such that, any set of edge disjoint copies of on vertices, can
be extended to an -design on at most vertices. We establish tight
bounds for the growth of as . In particular, we
prove the conjecture of F\"uredi and Lehel \cite{FuLe} that .
This settles a long-standing open problem
A bandwidth theorem for approximate decompositions
We provide a degree condition on a regular -vertex graph which ensures
the existence of a near optimal packing of any family of bounded
degree -vertex -chromatic separable graphs into . In general, this
degree condition is best possible.
Here a graph is separable if it has a sublinear separator whose removal
results in a set of components of sublinear size. Equivalently, the
separability condition can be replaced by that of having small bandwidth. Thus
our result can be viewed as a version of the bandwidth theorem of B\"ottcher,
Schacht and Taraz in the setting of approximate decompositions.
More precisely, let be the infimum over all
ensuring an approximate -decomposition of any sufficiently large regular
-vertex graph of degree at least . Now suppose that is an
-vertex graph which is close to -regular for some and suppose that is a sequence of bounded
degree -vertex -chromatic separable graphs with . We show that there is an edge-disjoint packing of
into .
If the are bipartite, then is sufficient. In
particular, this yields an approximate version of the tree packing conjecture
in the setting of regular host graphs of high degree. Similarly, our result
implies approximate versions of the Oberwolfach problem, the Alspach problem
and the existence of resolvable designs in the setting of regular host graphs
of high degree.Comment: Final version, to appear in the Proceedings of the London
