Abstract:
This is the title of a recent paper (which I will summarize) by Huang, Loh, and Sudakov. About 45 years ago, Erdos conjectured that the size of a k-uniform hypergraph with less than t ( n/k) disjoint edges has a certain upper bound and proved it for t O(n/k³). This paper improves the range to t O(n/k²). Next you guys can prove it for t n/k, and we'll be done with this!
