The minimum codegree conjecture for spanning spheres in 3-graphs

Let H\mathcal{H} be a 33-graph on n>3n>3 vertices, and let δ2(H)\delta_2(\mathcal{H}) denote its minimum codegree.

Spanning-sphere conjecture. Every such H\mathcal{H} with

δ2(H)>n/3\delta_2(\mathcal{H})>n/3

contains a spanning copy of the sphere S2\mathbb{S}^2.

The conjecture would eliminate the error term in the paper's asymptotic minimum-codegree result for spanning spheres in 33-graphs; its resolution is not given here.
