Caputo's hypergraph conjecture for symmetric-group representations
Caputo's hypergraph conjecture for symmetric-group representations
Let be a weighted hypergraph on , with non-negative weights, and let be a non-trivial irreducible representation of . Write for the standard representation minus the trivial representation, and let denote the smallest eigenvalue associated with . Caputo's hypergraph conjecture. For every such and ,
This generalizes the known theorem for measures supported on transpositions. The conjecture is still open in general.
