Hefetz–Keevash's Turán conjecture for extensions of two-edge matchings

Let r4r\geq 4 and let H2rM2rH_{2r}^{M_2^r} be the extension of the rr-uniform matching M2rM_2^r consisting of two pairwise disjoint edges. Let GG be an rr-graph on [n][n], and let Sr(n)S^r(n) be the rr-graph whose vertex set is partitioned into AA and BB, whose edges have one vertex in AA and r1r-1 vertices in BB, with the part sizes chosen to maximise the number of edges. Hefetz–Keevash's conjecture. For sufficiently large nn,

ex(n,H2rM2r)=1rn(r1rnr1).ex(n,H_{2r}^{M_2^r})={1 \over r}n\cdot{{r-1 \over r}n \choose r-1}.

Moreover, if GG is H2rM2rH_{2r}^{M_2^r}-free and has this many edges, then GSr(n)G\cong S^r(n). This conjecture predicts both the exact Turán number and the unique extremal construction for the extension of a two-edge matching; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
