We study quasi-random properties of k-uniform hypergraphs. Our central notion is uniform edge distribution with respect to large vertex sets. We will find several equivalent characterisations of this property and our work can be viewed as an extension of the well known Chung-Graham-Wilson theorem for quasi-random graphs. Moreover, let Kk be the complete graph on k vertices and M(k) the line graph of the graph of the k-dimensional hypercube. We will show that the pair of graphs (Kk, M(k)) has the property that if the number of copies of both Kk and M(k) in another graph G are as expected in the random graph of density d, then G is quasi-random (in the sense of the Chung-Graham-Wilson theorem) with density close to d.
A STRUCTURAL RESULT FOR HYPERGRAPHS WITH MANY RESTRICTED EDGE COLORINGS
, 2010
"... For k-uniform hypergraphs F and H and an integer r ≥ 2, let cr,F (H) denote the number of r-colorings of the set of hyperedges of H with no monochromatic copy of F and let cr,F (n) = maxH∈Hn cr,F (H), where the maximum runs over the family Hn of all k-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices. Moreover, l ..."

For k-uniform hypergraphs F and H and an integer r ≥ 2, let cr,F (H) denote the number of r-colorings of the set of hyperedges of H with no monochromatic copy of F and let cr,F (n) = maxH∈Hn cr,F (H), where the maximum runs over the family Hn of all k-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices. Moreover, let ex(n, F) be the usual Turán function, i.e., the maximum number of hyperedges of an n-vertex k-uniform hypergraph which contains no copy of F. In this paper, we consider the question for determining cr,F (n) for arbitrary fixed hypergraphs F and show cr,F (n) = r ex(n,F)+o(nk) for r = 2, 3. Moreover, we obtain a structural result for r = 2, 3 and any H with cr,F (H) ≥ rex(|V (H)|,F) under the assumption that a stability result for the k-uniform hypergraph F exists and |V (H) | is sufficiently large. We also obtain exact results for cr,F (n) when F is a 3- or 4-uniform generalized triangle and r = 2, 3, while cr,F (n) ≫ rex(n,F) for r ≥ 4 and n sufficiently large.
The Quasi-Randomness of Hypergraph Cut Properties
"... Let α1,..., αk satisfy ∑ i αi = 1 and suppose a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices satisfies the following property; in any partition of its vertices into k sets A1,..., Ak of sizes α1n,..., αkn, the number of edges intersecting A1,..., Ak is (asymptotically) the number one would expect to find in a ..."

Let α1,..., αk satisfy ∑ i αi = 1 and suppose a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices satisfies the following property; in any partition of its vertices into k sets A1,..., Ak of sizes α1n,..., αkn, the number of edges intersecting A1,..., Ak is (asymptotically) the number one would expect to find in a random k-uniform hypergraph. Can we then infer that H is quasi-random? We show that the answer is negative if and only if α1 = · · · = αk = 1/k. This resolves an open problem raised in 1991 by Chung and Graham [J. AMS ’91]. While hypergraphs satisfying the property corresponding to α1 = · · · = αk = 1/k are not necessarily quasi-random, we manage to find a characterization of the hypergraphs satisfying this property. Somewhat surprisingly, it turns out that (essentially) there is a unique non quasi-random hypergraph satisfying this property. The proofs combine probabilistic and algebraic arguments with results from the theory of association schemes.
Eigenvalues of non-regular linear-quasirandom hypergraphs
, 2014
"... Chung, Graham, and Wilson proved that a graph is quasirandom if and only if there is a large gap between its first and second largest eigenvalue. Recently, the authors extended this characterization to coregular k-uniform hypergraphs with loops. However, for k ≥ 3 no k-uniform hypergraph is coregula ..."

Chung, Graham, and Wilson proved that a graph is quasirandom if and only if there is a large gap between its first and second largest eigenvalue. Recently, the authors extended this characterization to coregular k-uniform hypergraphs with loops. However, for k ≥ 3 no k-uniform hypergraph is coregular. In this paper we remove the coregular requirement. Consequently, the characterization can be applied to k-uniform hypergraphs; for example it is used in [19] to show that a construction of a k-uniform hypergraph sequence is quasirandom.
Eigenvalues and Linear Quasirandom Hypergraphs

Let p(k) denote the partition function of k. For each k ≥ 2, we describe a list of p(k) − 1 quasirandom properties that a k-uniform hypergraph can have. Our work connects previous notions on linear hypergraph quasirandomness of Kohayakawa-Rödl-Skokan and Conlon-Hàn-Person-Schacht and the spectral approach of Friedman-Wigderson. For each of the quasirandom properties that are described, we define a largest and second largest eigenvalue. We show that a hypergraph satisfies these quasirandom properties if and only if it has a large spectral gap. This answers a question of Conlon-Hàn-Person-Schacht. Our work can be viewed as a partial extension to hypergraphs of the seminal spectral results of Chung-Graham-Wilson for graphs.
ON COLORINGS OF HYPERGRAPHS WITHOUT MONOCHROMATIC FANO PLANES

For k-uniform hypergraphs F and H and an integer r ≥ 2, let cr,F (H) denote the number of r-colorings of the set of hyperedges of H with no monochromatic copy of F and let cr,F (n) = maxH∈Hn cr,F (H), where the maximum runs over all k-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices. Moreover, let ex(n, F) be the usual extremal or Turán function, i.e., the maximum number of hyperedges of an n-vertex k-uniform hypergraph which contains no copy of F. For complete graphs F = Kℓ and r = 2 Erdős and Rothschild conjectured that c2,K ℓ (n) = 2 ex(n,K ℓ). This conjecture was proved by Yuster for ℓ = 3 and by Alon, Balogh, Keevash, and Sudakov for arbitrary ℓ. In this paper, we consider the question for hypergraphs and show that in the special case, when F is the Fano plane and r = 2 or 3, then cr,F (n) = r ex(n,F) , while cr,F (n) ≫ r ex(n,F) for r ≥ 4.

Abstract. For k-uniform hypergraphs F and H and an integer r ≥ 2, let cr,F (H) denote the number of r-colorings of the set of hyperedges of H with no monochromatic copy of F and let cr,F (n) = maxH∈Hn cr,F (H), where the maximum is over the family Hn of all k-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices. Moreover, let ex(n, F) be the usual extremal function, i.e., the maximum num-ber of hyperedges of an n-vertex k-uniform hypergraph which contains no copy of F. Here, we consider the question for determining cr,F (n) for F being the k-uniform expanded, complete 2-graph Hk`+1 or the k-uniform Fan(k)-hypergraph Fk`+1 with core of size ( ` + 1), where ` ≥ k ≥ 3, and we show cr,F (n) = r ex(n,F) for r = 2, 3 and n large enough. Moreover, for r = 2 or r = 3, for k-uniform hypergraphs H on n vertices the equality cr,F (H) = r ex(n,F) only holds if H is isomorphic to the `-partite, k-uniform Turán hypergraph on n vertices, once n is large enough. On the other hand, we show that cr,F (n) is exponentially larger than rex(n,F), if r ≥ 4. 1. Introduction and
Almost all cancellative triple systems are tripartite

"... A triple system is cancellative if no three of its distinct edges satisfy A ∪ B = A ∪ C. It is tripartite if it has a vertex partition into three parts such that every edge has exactly one point in each part. It is easy to see that every tripartite triple system is cancellative.

A triple system is cancellative if no three of its distinct edges satisfy A ∪ B = A ∪ C. It is tripartite if it has a vertex partition into three parts such that every edge has exactly one point in each part. It is easy to see that every tripartite triple system is cancellative. We prove that almost all cancellative triple systems with vertex set [n] are tripartite. This sharpens a theorem of Nagle and Rödl [15] on the number of cancellative triple systems. It also extends recent work of Person and Schacht [16] who proved a similar result for triple systems without the Fano configuration. Our proof uses the hypergraph regularity lemma of Frankl and Rödl [11], and a stability theorem for cancellative triple systems due to Keevash and the second author [12]. 1
