Existence conjecture for Steiner systems
Existence conjecture for Steiner systems
Let be integers. An -Steiner system is a collection of -subsets of an -element set such that every -subset is contained in exactly one member. Equivalently, it is a decomposition of the complete -uniform hypergraph into copies of . Existence conjecture for Steiner systems. For all integers , if is sufficiently large and
for each , then an -Steiner system exists. Keevash proved this conjecture for all sufficiently large satisfying the necessary divisibility conditions, so the conjecture is solved.
