The Poset of Hypergraph Quasirandomness
Chung and Graham began the systematic study of k-uniform hypergraph
quasirandom properties soon after the foundational results of Thomason and
Chung-Graham-Wilson on quasirandom graphs. One feature that became apparent in
the early work on k-uniform hypergraph quasirandomness is that properties that
are equivalent for graphs are not equivalent for hypergraphs, and thus
hypergraphs enjoy a variety of inequivalent quasirandom properties. In the past
two decades, there has been an intensive study of these disparate notions of
quasirandomness for hypergraphs, and an open problem that has emerged is to
determine the relationship between them.
Our main result is to determine the poset of implications between these
quasirandom properties. This answers a recent question of Chung and continues a
project begun by Chung and Graham in their first paper on hypergraph
quasirandomness in the early 1990's.Comment: 43 pages, 1 figur
Embedding large subgraphs into dense graphs
What conditions ensure that a graph G contains some given spanning subgraph
H? The most famous examples of results of this kind are probably Dirac's
theorem on Hamilton cycles and Tutte's theorem on perfect matchings. Perfect
matchings are generalized by perfect F-packings, where instead of covering all
the vertices of G by disjoint edges, we want to cover G by disjoint copies of a
(small) graph F. It is unlikely that there is a characterization of all graphs
G which contain a perfect F-packing, so as in the case of Dirac's theorem it
makes sense to study conditions on the minimum degree of G which guarantee a
perfect F-packing.
The Regularity lemma of Szemeredi and the Blow-up lemma of Komlos, Sarkozy
and Szemeredi have proved to be powerful tools in attacking such problems and
quite recently, several long-standing problems and conjectures in the area have
been solved using these. In this survey, we give an outline of recent progress
(with our main emphasis on F-packings, Hamiltonicity problems and tree
embeddings) and describe some of the methods involved
