Hamiltonicity in randomly perturbed hypergraphs. (English) Zbl 1443.05109

Summary: For integers \(k \geq 3\) and \(1 \leq \ell \leq k - 1\), we prove that for any \(\alpha > 0\), there exist \(\epsilon > 0\) and \(C > 0\) such that for sufficiently large \(n \in(k - \ell) \mathbb{N}\), the union of a \(k\)-uniform hypergraph with minimum vertex degree \(\alpha n^{k - 1}\) and a binomial random \(k\)-uniform hypergraph \(\mathbb{G}^{(k)}(n, p)\) with \(p \geq n^{-(k - \ell) - \epsilon}\) for \(\ell \geq 2\) and \(p \geq C n^{-(k - 1)}\) for \(\ell = 1\) on the same vertex set contains a Hamiltonian \(\ell\)-cycle with high probability. Our result is best possible up to the values of \(\epsilon\) and \(C\) and answers a question of M. Krivelevich et al. [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 31, No. 1, 155–171 (2017; Zbl 1354.05122)].
