Title
Optimal Divisibility Conditions for Loose Hamilton Cycles in Random Hypergraphs.
Abstract
In the random k-uniform hypergraph H-n,p((k)), of order n, each possible k-tuple appears independently with probability p. A loose Hamilton cycle is a cycle of order n in which every pair of consecutive edges intersects in a single vertex. It was shown by Frieze that if p >= c(log n)/n(2) for some absolute constant c > 0, then a.a.s. Hn(3,p) contains a loose Hamilton cycle, provided that n is divisible by 4. Subsequently, Dudek and Frieze extended this result for any uniformity k >= 4, proving that if p >> (log n)/n(k-1), then H-n,p((k)) contains a loose Hamilton cycle, provided that n is divisible by 2(k - 1). In this paper, we improve the divisibility requirement and show that in the above results it is enough to assume that n is a multiple of k - 1, which is best possible.
