Tight cycles in hypergraphs

We apply a recent version of the Strong Hypergraph Regularity Lemma(see [1], [2]) to prove two new results on tight cycles in k-uniform hypergraphs. The first result is an extension of the Erdos-Gallai Theorem for graphs: For every > 0, every sufficiently large k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with at least edges contains a tight cycle of length @n for any @ 2 [0; 1]. Our second result concerns k-partite k-uniform hypergraphs with partition classes of size n and for each @ 2 (0; 1) provides an asymptotically optimal minimum codegree requirement for the hypergraph to contain a cycle of length @kn.
