There exists a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ (for $k\\geq 5$) without exponent, i.e., when the Tur\\'an function is not polynomial in $n$. More precisely, we have $ex(n,H)=o(n^{k-1})$ but it exceeds $n^{k-1-c}$ for any positive $c$ for $n> n_0(k,c)$. This is an extension (and simplification) of a result of Frankl and the first author from 1987 where the case $k=5$ was proven. We conjecture that it is true for $k\\in \\{3, 4\\}$ as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-16T07:15:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "concise proof", "uniform hypergraph", "turan function", "first author", "polynomial" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
