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
Hamilton cycles in quasirandom hypergraphs
We show that, for a natural notion of quasirandomness in -uniform
hypergraphs, any quasirandom -uniform hypergraph on vertices with
constant edge density and minimum vertex degree contains a
loose Hamilton cycle. We also give a construction to show that a -uniform
hypergraph satisfying these conditions need not contain a Hamilton -cycle
if divides . The remaining values of form an interesting
open question.Comment: 18 pages. Accepted for publication in Random Structures & Algorithm
Minimalist designs
The iterative absorption method has recently led to major progress in the
area of (hyper-)graph decompositions. Amongst other results, a new proof of the
Existence conjecture for combinatorial designs, and some generalizations, was
obtained. Here, we illustrate the method by investigating triangle
decompositions: we give a simple proof that a triangle-divisible graph of large
minimum degree has a triangle decomposition and prove a similar result for
quasi-random host graphs.Comment: updated references, to appear in Random Structures & Algorithm
An Approximate Version of the Tree Packing Conjecture via Random Embeddings
We prove that for any pair of constants a>0 and D and for n sufficiently large, every family of trees of orders at most n, maximum degrees at most D, and with at most n(n-1)/2 edges in total packs into the complete graph of order (1+a)n. This implies asymptotic versions of the Tree Packing Conjecture of Gyarfas from 1976 and a tree packing conjecture of Ringel from 1963 for trees with bounded maximum degree. A novel random tree embedding process combined with the nibble method forms the core of the proof
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

Euler tours in hypergraphs
We show that a quasirandom -uniform hypergraph has a tight Euler tour
subject to the necessary condition that divides all vertex degrees. The
case when is complete confirms a conjecture of Chung, Diaconis and Graham
from 1989 on the existence of universal cycles for the -subsets of an
-set.Comment: version accepted for publication in Combinatoric
