Hypergraph regularity and the multidimensional Szemerédi theorem. (English) Zbl 1159.05052

In recent years there is huge activity on how to generalize Szemerédi’s Regularity and Removal lemmas for hypergraphs. There are different approaches, different results, even different definitions. (See for example [V. Rödl and J. Skokan, Random Struct. Algorithms 25, No. 1, 1–42 (2004; Zbl 1046.05042), B. Nagle, V. Rödl, and M. Schacht, ibid. 28, 113–179 (2006; Zbl 1093.05045); T. Tao, J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 113, 1257–1280 (2006; Zbl 1105.05052 ); G. Elek and B. Szegedy, Limits of hypergraphs, regularity and removal lemmas. A non-standard approach. http://arxiv1.library.cornell.edu/abs/0705.2179v1]). The paper under review develops its own versions of the Regularity and Removal lemmas for hypergraphs, and as application it gives the first combinatorial proofs for the multidimensional Szemerédi theorem (and also providing an explicit bound).
