Araujo-Piga-Schacht Question on Tight Hamilton Cycles

resolvedconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Araujo, Piga and Schacht asked whether density and codegree both above $1/4$ force a tight Hamilton cycle in a linearly quasirandom 3-graph. No: the threshold is $p_0 = \max_{0 \le x \le 1}\min\{x^3, 1-x\} \approx 0.3177$, and below it there are dense 3-graphs with large codegree and no tight Hamilton cycle. For every $p > 1/3$ the asymptotically sharp minimum-codegree threshold is determined.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

ChatGPT

The author acknowledges using ChatGPT in the early stage of the project and during manuscript preparation, and states specifically that an initial idea leading to the first construction in the paper arose during an interaction with it.
