Sunflower lemma improvement (Erdos-Ko 1960 conjecture; Alweiss-Lovett-Wu-Zhang 2020 partial resolution): every family of k-element sets of size at least (C log k)^k contains a sunflower of size r, where the bound (k!)^r in the original Erdos-Ko 1960 lemma improves dramatically. Original conjecture open at the C^k bound.

  3. 03checks

    Check output

    Schema, provenance, benchmark, contradiction, and proof checks decide whether the request is ready to read.

    inspect checks →
  4. 04review
