向日葵引理的改进界

Improved bounds for the sunflower lemma

Ryan Alweiss, Shachar Lovett, Kewen Wu, Jiapeng Zhang

摘要:

具有$r$花瓣的向日葵是$r$集合的集合,使得每对集合的交集等于所有集合的交集。Erdés和Rado证明了向日葵引理:对于任何固定的$r$,任何具有至少约$w^w$集合的$w$大小的集合族必须包含一个具有$r$花瓣的向日葵。著名的向日葵猜想指出,对于某个常数$c$,集合数的界可以改进为$c^w$。在本文中,我们改进的界约为$(\log w)^w$。事实上,我们证明了一个强大的概念向日葵的结果,我们得到的界限是尖锐的低阶项。

英文摘要:

A sunflower with $r$ petals is a collection of $r$ sets so that the intersection of each pair is equal to the intersection of all of them. Erdős and Rado proved the sunflower lemma: for any fixed $r$, any family of sets of size $w$, with at least about $w^w$ sets, must contain a sunflower with $r$ petals. The famous sunflower conjecture states that the bound on the number of sets can be improved to $c^w$ for some constant $c$. In this paper, we improve the bound to about $(\log w)^w$. In fact, we prove the result for a robust notion of sunflowers, for which the bound we obtain is sharp up to lower order terms.
