The universal isolated-clique conjecture for extremal uniform hypergraphs
Let be an extremal -uniform hypergraph for Problem 13 on vertices, and let denote the complete -uniform hypergraph on vertices. An isolated copy of is a copy having no edge intersecting it and extending outside its vertex set. Universal isolated-clique conjecture. If
for some absolute constant , then every extremal hypergraph for Problem 13 contains an isolated copy of . The theorem preceding this question establishes only the existence of an extremal hypergraph with this property for a sufficiently large ; whether every extremal hypergraph has it remains open.
