Higher-uniformity extremal construction conjecture for tight cycles
Higher-uniformity extremal construction conjecture for tight cycles
Fix a uniformity . Let be the -uniform tight cycle of length , and call an -graph -hom-free when it contains no homomorphic copy of this cycle. A complete oddly bipartite -graph is the construction in which an edge is present precisely when it meets the relevant bipartition in an odd number of vertices.
Higher-uniformity extremal construction conjecture. For all sufficiently long relatively prime to , the extremal -hom-free constructions on sufficiently large numbers of vertices are the complete oddly bipartite -graph when is even, and the iterated blowup described in the source when is odd.
This conjecture extends the proposed extremal constructions from uniformities and to arbitrary uniformity. It remains open, and the source notes that higher-uniformity analogues of the available structural arguments would require new ideas.
