Near-optimal Turán densities of r-graphs on r+1 vertices
Abstract
Let π(H) be the Turán density of an r-uniform hypergraph H and let Hkr denote the r-uniform hypergraph on r+1 vertices with exactly k edges, where 1≤ k≤ r+1. Sidorenko~(JCT-B, 2024) proved that π(H3r)≥ (1.7215−o(1))r−2 as r→∞ and π(Hkr)≥ (Ck+o(1))r−(1+1/(k−2)) for fixed k as r→∞. Clemen~later improved the first bound to π(H3r)≥ cr−2√(log r) for some constant c>0. In this article, we prove the following results. \begin{itemize} \item For any fixed ε>0, there is a constant cε>0 such that π(H3r)≥ cε/(r(log r)2+ε). %π(H3r)≥ 1/(r(log r)2+o(1)). Together with the known upper bound π(H3r)≤1/r, this implies π(H3r)=r−1+o(1). \item For every 3≤ k≤ r+1, let s=min{k−2,r−k+2}. Then 0≤ (k−2)/r−π(Hkr) ≤ 128/r(√(sloger/s)+loger/s). This estimate yields several asymptotically sharp results for π(Hkr). For example, π(Hkr)=(1+o(1))(k−2)/r when log(er/(k))=o(k). \end{itemize}

AB - Let π(H) be the Turán density of an r-uniform hypergraph H and let H_k^r denote the r-uniform hypergraph on r+1 vertices with exactly k edges, where 1≤ k≤ r+1. Sidorenko~(JCT-B, 2024) proved that π(H_3^r)≥ (1.7215−o(1))r^−2 as r→∞ and π(H_k^r)≥ (C_k+o(1))r^−(1+1/(k−2)) for fixed k as r→∞. Clemen~later improved the first bound to π(H_3^r)≥ cr^−2√(log r) for some constant c>0. In this article, we prove the following results. \begin{itemize} \item For any fixed ε>0, there is a constant c_ε>0 such that π(H_3^r)≥ c_ε/(r(log r)^2+ε). %π(H_3^r)≥ 1/(r(log r)^2+o(1)). Together with the known upper bound π(H_3^r)≤1/r, this implies π(H_3^r)=r^−1+o(1). \item For every 3≤ k≤ r+1, let s=min{k−2,r−k+2}. Then 0≤ (k−2)/r−π(H_k^r) ≤ 128/r(√(sloger/s)+loger/s). This estimate yields several asymptotically sharp results for π(H_k^r). For example, π(H_k^r)=(1+o(1))(k−2)/r when log(er/(k))=o(k). \end{itemize}
