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
Eigenvalues of Non-Regular Linear-Quasirandom Hypergraphs
Chung, Graham, and Wilson proved that a graph is quasirandom if and only if
there is a large gap between its first and second largest eigenvalue. Recently,
the authors extended this characterization to k-uniform hypergraphs, but only
for the so-called coregular k-uniform hypergraphs. In this paper, we extend
this characterization to all k-uniform hypergraphs, not just the coregular
ones. Specifically, we prove that if a k-uniform hypergraph satisfies the
correct count of a specially defined four-cycle, then there is a gap between
its first and second largest eigenvalue.Comment: 15 pages. (this paper was originally part of an old version of

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
On the Chromatic Thresholds of Hypergraphs
Let F be a family of r-uniform hypergraphs. The chromatic threshold of F is
the infimum of all non-negative reals c such that the subfamily of F comprising
hypergraphs H with minimum degree at least has bounded
chromatic number. This parameter has a long history for graphs (r=2), and in
this paper we begin its systematic study for hypergraphs.
{\L}uczak and Thomass\'e recently proved that the chromatic threshold of the
so-called near bipartite graphs is zero, and our main contribution is to
generalize this result to r-uniform hypergraphs. For this class of hypergraphs,
we also show that the exact Tur\'an number is achieved uniquely by the complete
(r+1)-partite hypergraph with nearly equal part sizes. This is one of very few
infinite families of nondegenerate hypergraphs whose Tur\'an number is
determined exactly. In an attempt to generalize Thomassen's result that the
chromatic threshold of triangle-free graphs is 1/3, we prove bounds for the
chromatic threshold of the family of 3-uniform hypergraphs not containing {abc,
abd, cde}, the so-called generalized triangle.
In order to prove upper bounds we introduce the concept of fiber bundles,
which can be thought of as a hypergraph analogue of directed graphs. This leads
to the notion of fiber bundle dimension, a structural property of fiber bundles
that is based on the idea of Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension in hypergraphs. Our
lower bounds follow from explicit constructions, many of which use a hypergraph
analogue of the Kneser graph. Using methods from extremal set theory, we prove
that these Kneser hypergraphs have unbounded chromatic number. This generalizes
a result of Szemer\'edi for graphs and might be of independent interest. Many
open problems remain.Comment: 37 pages, 4 figure
