Lopsided fractional Erdős matching conjecture for hypergraph tilings

Let FF be a kk-graph, let v(F)v(F) denote its number of vertices, and let Gn,i,βG_{n,i,\beta} be the space-barrier kk-graph associated with parameters nn, ii, and β\beta. Write e(Gn,i,β)e(G_{n,i,\beta}) for its number of edges, and let δ0(F;β)\operatorname{\delta}_0(F;\beta) denote the corresponding fractional tiling threshold. For 0β1/v(F)0\leq\beta\leq 1/v(F), the conjecture asserts

Lopsided fractional Erdős matching conjecture. For every kk-graph FF and 0β1/v(F)0\leq\beta\leq 1/v(F),

δ0(F;β)=maxi[k]lim supne(Gn,i,β)(nk).\operatorname{\delta}_0(F;\beta)=\max_{i\in[k]}\limsup_{n\to\infty}\frac{e(G_{n,i,\beta})}{\binom{n}{k}}.

This would identify the asymptotic fractional tiling threshold with the largest density produced by the space barriers. The paper presents it as an open direction motivated by the fractional Erdős matching conjecture, and no resolution is supplied here.
