Degree-power extremal conjecture for bounded-matching families

From papers

Let k2k\geq2, s1s\geq1, 1rk11\leq r\leq k-1, and let p1p\geq1 be real. Suppose that

n(2s+1)ks.n\geq(2s+1)k-s.

If F([n]k)\mathcal F\subseteq\binom{[n]}k satisfies ν(F)s\nu(\mathcal F)\leq s, let BS\mathcal B_S denote the family of all kk-sets meeting a fixed ss-set SS, and let r,p\ell_{r,p} be the degree-power quantity used in the paper. Bounded-matching degree-power conjecture.

r,p(F)r,p(BS).\ell_{r,p}(\mathcal F)\leq\ell_{r,p}(\mathcal B_S).

Moreover, equality holds if and only if F\mathcal F is isomorphic to BS\mathcal B_S. This extends the paper's bounded-matching result from codegrees to arbitrary nontrivial degree levels.
