Sidorenko conjecture for linear hypergraphs containing an expanded clique

About 3 years old · traced to

Let FF be an rr-uniform hypergraph and let kk be the uniformity of the clique Kk+1kK_{k+1}^k. Distinct edges of FF satisfy the kk-linear condition when ∣e∩f∣<k|e\cap f|<k for every pair of distinct edges e,f∈Fe,f\in F. Let Er(Kk+1k)\mathrm{E}^r(K_{k+1}^k) be the rr-uniform expansion of the complete kk-graph on k+1k+1 vertices. Linear hypergraph conjecture. If ∣e∩f∣<k|e\cap f|<k for any distinct e,f∈Fe,f\in F and FF contains Er(Kk+1k)\mathrm{E}^r(K_{k+1}^k) as a subgraph, then FF is not Sidorenko. The source notes that the case k=2k=2 is known, while the conjectured extension to higher uniformities remains open.
