Sidorenko conjecture for linear hypergraphs containing an expanded clique

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 ef<k|e\cap f|<k for every pair of distinct edges e,fFe,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 ef<k|e\cap f|<k for any distinct e,fFe,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.
