Abstract

We establish a tensor spectral stability theorem for uniform hypergraphs with bounded matching number. More precisely, for fixed integers $k\geq 3$ and $\beta\geq2$, and sufficiently large $n$, we prove that every $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with matching number at most $\beta$ and tensor spectral radius close to the maximum possible value among all such hypergraphs must be structurally close to the extremal hypergraph $S_{n,k,\beta}$, whose edges consist of all $k$-sets intersecting a fixed set of $\beta$ vertices. Furthermore, we show that every edge of $H$ intersects this distinguished vertex set and that $H$ contains all but a small proportion of the edges of $S_{n,k,\beta}$. As an application, we obtain a new proof of the spectral version of the Erd\H{o}s matching conjecture for sufficiently large $n$.

A Spectral Proof of the Hypergraph Moore Bound

A nonempty subfamily of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is an \emph{even cover} if every vertex lies in an even number of its hyperedges; for $k=2$ these are edge-disjoint unions of cycles, so the minimum size of an even cover is the natural hypergraph analogue of girth. We prove Feige's 2008 conjecture on the hypergraph Moor...

A Sharp Spectral Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado Theorem for Uniform Hypergraphs

The spectral Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado problem asks for the largest adjacency-tensor spectral radius of a $t$-intersecting $k$-uniform family. Keevash, Lenz and Mubayi proved that, for fixed $k,t$ and sufficiently large $n$, the unique extremal family is a full $t$-star, and asked whether such a theorem extends to all $n$. L...

A sharp fixed-size spectral bound for $kK_3$-free graphs

For a fixed integer $k\ge2$, we establish a sharp adjacency-spectral upper bound for sufficiently large $m$-edge $kK_3$-free graphs. We prove \[ \lambda(G)\le (k-1)+\sqrt{m-k(k-1)}. \] Moreover, equality holds precisely when $(2k-1)\mid m$ and, up to isolated vertices, $G$ is the join of $K_{2k-1}$ with an independent...

Counting thresholds for perfect matchings in hypergraphs

In a $k$-uniform hypergraph, the minimum $d$-degree for some $0\le d\le k-1$ is the minimum number of edges containing any given $d$-set of vertices. An extension of the classical Dirac theorem guarantees that whenever the minimum $d$-degree of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph, $k\mid n$, is larger than a certain Di...

The maximum spectral radius of outerplanar and planar $k$-uniform hypergraphs

For an integer $k\ge3$, a $k$-angulation is a simple $2$-connected outerplane graph whose interior faces are bounded by $k$-cycles, and a closed $k$-angulation is a simple $2$-connected plane graph all of whose faces, the outer face included, are bounded by $k$-cycles; the face hypergraph of either is the $k$-uniform h...

On low-dimensional uniform rectifiability in Heisenberg groups - Part 2

Let $1\leq k\leq n$. We prove that $k$-dimensional intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ satisfy a geometric lemma $\mathrm{GLem}(\beta_{2,\mathcal{V}_k},p)$ for horizontal $\beta$-numbers with an exponent $p=p(k)$. Previously, this result was known only in the case $k=1$; our proof recovers...
