Abstract: Let 2 ≤ q ≤min{ p, t − 1} be fixed and n → ∞. Suppose that $$\mathcal{F}$$ is a p-uniform hypergraph on n vertices that contains no complete q-uniform hypergraph on t vertices as a trace. We determine the asymptotic maximum size of $${\mathcal{F}}$$ in many cases. For example, when q = 2 and p∈{ t, t + 1}, the maximum is $$( \frac{n}{t-1})^{t-1} + o(n^{t-1})$$ , and when p = t = 3, it is $$\lfloor \frac{(n-1)^2}{4}\rfloor$$ for all n≥ 3. Our proofs use the Kruskal-Katona theorem, an extension of the sunflower lemma due to Füredi, and recent results on hypergraph Turán numbers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
