O'Neill's supersaturation conjecture for eventown families
Let , let , and let denote the family of all subsets of . For a family , write for the number of pairs of distinct members such that is odd. Fix an integer satisfying
O'Neill's supersaturation conjecture. If consists of even-sized subsets and
then
This conjecture gives a supersaturation bound for eventown: once an even-set family exceeds the extremal size , it predicts a linear lower bound on the number of pairs whose intersection has odd size. The source attributes the conjecture to O'Neill; the supplied material does not establish whether it has been resolved.
