The universal isolated-clique conjecture for extremal uniform hypergraphs

Let GG be an extremal ℓ\ell-uniform hypergraph for Problem 13 on nn vertices, and let Kt+1ℓK_{t+1}^{\ell} denote the complete ℓ\ell-uniform hypergraph on t+1t+1 vertices. An isolated copy of Kt+1ℓK_{t+1}^{\ell} is a copy having no edge intersecting it and extending outside its vertex set. Universal isolated-clique conjecture. If

n>Ctn>Ct

for some absolute constant CC, then every extremal hypergraph for Problem 13 contains an isolated copy of Kt+1ℓK_{t+1}^{\ell}. The theorem preceding this question establishes only the existence of an extremal hypergraph with this property for a sufficiently large nn; whether every extremal hypergraph has it remains open.
