These are permanent positions: essentially you are appointed as a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer, but have a light teaching load (and no admin! for the first five years to focus on excellent research. After five years you become a standard Lecturer/Senior Lecturer. If you are interested, please ask me for more information.

3 Characterising graphs with perfect matchings Hall s Theorem characterises all those bipartite graphs with perfect matchings. Tutte s Theorem characterises all those graphs with perfect matchings.

4 Perfect matchings in k-uniform hypergraphs for k 3 decision problem NP-complete (Garey, Johnson 79 Natural to look for simple sufficient conditions

5 minimum l-degree conditions H k-uniform hypergraph, 1 l < k d H (v 1,..., v l = # edges containing v 1,..., v l minimum l-degree δ l (H = minimum over all d H (v 1,..., v l δ 1 (H = minimum vertex degree δ k 1 (H = minimum codegree

6 minimum l-degree conditions H k-uniform hypergraph, 1 l < k d H (v 1,..., v l = # edges containing v 1,..., v l minimum l-degree δ l (H = minimum over all d H (v 1,..., v l δ 1 (H = minimum vertex degree δ k 1 (H = minimum codegree

7 minimum l-degree conditions H k-uniform hypergraph, 1 l < k d H (v 1,..., v l = # edges containing v 1,..., v l minimum l-degree δ l (H = minimum over all d H (v 1,..., v l δ 1 (H = minimum vertex degree δ k 1 (H = minimum codegree δ 1 (H = and δ (H = 1

8 minimum vertex degree results Theorem (Khan and Kühn, Osthus and T. (013 n 0 N s.t if H 3-uniform, n := H n 0 and ( ( n 1 n/3 δ 1 (H > then H contains a perfect matching. Hán, Person and Schacht (009 proved asymptotic version Minimum vertex degree condition tight

9 H n/3 + 1 n/3 1 δ 1 (H = ( n 1 ( n/3 no perfect matching

10 More recent developments Khan (011+ determined the exact minimum vertex degree which forces a perfect matching in a 4-uniform hypergraph. Alon, Frankl, Huang, Rödl, Ruciński, Sudakov (01 gave asymptotically exact threshold for 5-uniform hypergraphs. No other exact vertex degree results are known. (Best known general bounds are due to Kühn, Osthus and Townsend (013+.

11 minimum codegree conditions Theorem (Rödl, Ruciński and Szemerédi (009 H k-uniform hypergraph, H = n sufficiently large, k n δ k 1 (H n/ = perfect matching In fact, they gave exact minimum codegree threshold that forces a perfect matching.

12 Type 1 A A odd edges hit A in even no. of vertices B A B δ k 1 (H H / but no perfect matching

13 Type A blankblank A odd, H /k even or A even, H /k odd edges hit A in odd no. of vertices B A B δ k 1 (H H / but no perfect matching

14 minimum l-degree conditions Theorem (Pikhurko (008 Suppose H k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices and k/ l k 1. ( n l δ l (H (1/ + o(1 = perfect matching k l Previous examples shows result essentially best-possible.

15 minimum l-degree conditions Let δ(n, k, l denote the max. value of δ l (H amongst all k-uniform hypergraphs H on n vertices of Type 1 or. Theorem (T., Zhao (013 Let n be sufficiently large. Suppose H k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices and k/ l k 1. δ l (H > δ(n, k, l = perfect matching Our result makes Pikhurko s exact. Our result implies the theorem of Rödl, Ruciński and Szemerédi.

16 Proof overview We will only consider the case of 4-uniform hypergraphs and minimum -degree. H 4-uniform on n vertices and δ (H > δ(n, 4, Absorbing sets Let 0 < ε γ 1. S an absorbing set if S = γn and H[S] contains a perfect matching H[S Q] has a perfect matching for any set Q s.t. Q εn.

17 Theorem (Markström and Ruciński (011 Suppose H 4-uniform on n vertices ( ( 7 n δ (H 16 + o(1 = H contains matching covering all but n vertices. Our proof is therefore easy if we have an absorbing set: Find absorbing set S in H Find a matching M in H S covering almost all vertices Absorb uncovered vertices using S to obtain perfect matching

18 One can show that there is an absorbing set if: (i xy ( (, (1/ + o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii o(1n pairs xy ( of large degree, i.e. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. We can therefore assume (i and (ii fail. We then show that this means H is close to one of the extremal hypergraphs (Type 1 or.

19 G ( ( ab cd (ab(cd E(G abcd E(H

20 (i xy ( ( s.t. (1/ o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii almost all pairs xy ( are s.t. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. ( ( xy N(xy

21 (i xy ( ( s.t. (1/ o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii almost all pairs xy ( are s.t. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. ( ( xy N(xy (i

22 (i xy ( ( s.t. (1/ o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii almost all pairs xy ( are s.t. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. ( ( xy N(xy (i

23 (i xy ( ( s.t. (1/ o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii almost all pairs xy ( are s.t. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. ( ( xy N(xy (i

24 (i xy ( ( s.t. (1/ o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii almost all pairs xy ( are s.t. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. ( ( xy N(xy (i

25 (i xy ( ( s.t. (1/ o(1 n ( tuples ab s.t. N H (xy N H (ab o(1n or (ii almost all pairs xy ( are s.t. d H (xy (1/ + o(1 ( n. ( ( xy N(xy (i

26 ( ( xy N(xy (i Now use this structure in G to conclude H is close to one of the extremal examples. (Needs quite a bit of work! Then minimum -degree condition forces a perfect matching.

27 Open problems Characterise the minimum vertex degree that forces a perfect matching in a k-uniform hypergraph for k 5. What about minimum l-degree conditions for k-uniform H where 1 < l < k/? (Alon, Frankl, Huang, Rödl, Ruciński, Sudakov have some such results.
