Mubayi–Rödl conjecture for the Turán density of the tight 5-cycle

Let C53\mathcal{C}_5^3 be the 33-uniform tight cycle of length 55, with vertex set {1,,5}\{1,\dots,5\} and edges of the form {x,x+1,x+2(mod5)}\{x,x+1,x+2\pmod 5\}. Let π(C53)\pi(\mathcal{C}_5^3) denote its Turán density. Mubayi–Rödl conjecture.

π(C53)=233.\pi(\mathcal{C}_5^3)=2\sqrt{3}-3.

The conjecture is attributed to Mubayi and Rödl and is presented as a central open problem on tight-cycle Turán densities; the paper proves results for sufficiently long tight cycles but does not settle the length-55 case.
