This was extended by Boehnlein and Jiang to induced copies. We strengthen both results by showing that for any integer $q\\ge k$, any family $\\mathcal{F}$ of size at least $(q-1+\\varepsilon){n\\choose \\lceil n/2\\rceil}$ contains on the order of as many induced copies of $P$ as is contained in the $q$ middle layers of the Boolean lattice. This answers a conjecture of Gerbner, Nagy, Patk\\'os, and Vizer in a strong form for tree posets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-17T18:12:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05D05" ], "keywords": [ "tree poset", "supersaturation", "boolean lattice", "induced copies", "well-known result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
