Conjecture on the codegree threshold for spanning loose-cycle factors
There exists an integer such that for all , the following holds. Let be a -graph consisting of vertex-disjoint loose cycles such that
Let denote the number of loose cycles with odd lengths, and let denote the minimum codegree of the -graph . The spanning loose-cycle-factor conjecture. If is an -vertex -graph with
then contains as a spanning subhypergraph. This conjecture proposes an asymptotically tight codegree threshold for embedding disjoint loose cycles in -graphs. The paper establishes an asymptotic bound motivating the conjecture, while the stated exact threshold remains open.
