Abstract:
The Graham-Pollak theorem states that, if we wish to decompose the complete graph Kn into complete bipartite subgraphs, then we need at least n-1 of them. What happens for hypergraphs? In other words, if we wish to decompose the complete r-graph on n vertices into complete r-partite r-graphs, how many do we need? In this talk we report on recent progress on this question. This is joint work with Luka Milicevic and Ta Sheng Tan.
