One of the most intruguing conjectures in extremal graph theory is the conjecture of Erdős and Sós from 1962, which asserts that every $n$-vertex graph with more than $\frac{k-1}{2}n$ edges contains any $k$-edge tree as a subgraph. Kalai proposed a generalization of this conjecture to hypergraphs. To explain the generalization, we need to define the concept of a tight tree in an $r$-uniform hypergraph, i.e., a hypergraph where each edge contains $r$ vertices. A tight tree is an $r$-uniform…

The main result is an asymptotic version of Kalai's conjecture for all tight trees of bounded trunk size, and the result on the tight path of length 4 implies the intersection shadow theorem of Katona [Katona].
A splitting theorem for ordered hypergraphs

An {\em ordered $r$-graph} is an $r$-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered; it is $r$-{\em interval-partite} if there are $r$ consecutive intervals such that each edge has one point

In this paper we present a novel approach in extremal set theory which may be viewed as an asymmetric version of Katona's permutation method. We use it to find more Turan numbers of hypergraphs in

Kalai's conjecture in $r$-partite $r$-graphs
Kalai conjectured that every $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph with more than $\frac{t-1}{r} {n \choose r-1}$ edges contains all tight $r$-trees of some fixed size $t$. We prove Kalai's conjecture

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a subgraph.

It is proved that the Ramsey number for the 4-uniform tight cycle on 4n vertices is (5+ o(1))n, which is asymptotically tight.
