Title
The Codegree Threshold for 3-Graphs with Independent Neighborhoods
Abstract
Given a family of 3-graphs F, we define its codegree threshold coex(n, F) to be the largest number d = d(n) such that there exists an n-vertex 3-graph in which every pair of vertices is contained in at least d 3-edges but which contains no member of F as a subgraph. Let F-3,F-2 be the 3-graph on {a, b, c, d, e} with 3-edges abc, abd, abe, and cde. In this paper, we give two proofs that coex(n, {F-3,F-2}) = - (1/3 + o(1))n, the first by a direct combinatorial argument and the second via a flag algebra computation. Information extracted from the latter proof is then used to obtain a stability result, from which in turn we derive the exact codegree threshold for all sufficiently large n: coex(n, {F-3,F-2}) = [n/3] - 1 if n is congruent to 1 modulo 3, and [n/3] otherwise. In addition we determine the set of codegree-extremal configurations for all sufficiently large n.
