Hegedüs's balanced Sperner family conjecture
Hegedüs's balanced Sperner family conjecture
Let . A family is Sperner if no two distinct members are comparable under inclusion. It is -balanced if there are pairwise disjoint nonempty sets , where , such that
and
Hegedüs's conjecture. If is a Sperner family and , then is -balanced.
The conjecture was proposed after Hegedüs proved the corresponding statement for uniform families. The supplied abstract states that the result for has been proved with the sharp threshold , so this conjecture is solved.
