The Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture in finite abelian groups

Abstract

The Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'{o}s conjecture, one of the central conjectures in extremal combinatorics, states that for any integer $m\geq 6,$ if a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices contains no $m$ vertices spanning at least $m-3$ edges, then the number of edges is $o(n^2).$ We prove the conjecture for triple systems coming from finite abelian groups.
