Paths, cycles and sprinkling in random hypergraphs
The electronic journal of combinatorics, Tome 32 (2025) no. 3
We prove a lower bound on the length of the longest $j$-tight cycle in a $k$-uniform binomial random hypergraph for any $2 \le j \le k-1$. We first prove the existence of a $j$-tight path of the required length. The standard "sprinkling" argument is not enough to show that this path can be closed to a $j$-tight cycle - we therefore show that the path has many extensions, which is sufficient to allow the sprinkling to close the cycle.
