Combinatorics [Submitted on 1 Jun 2026 (v1), last revised 8 Jun 2026 (this version, v2)] Title:Erdős Rado Sunflower Theorem for Shifted Families View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Let $f(k,s)$ denote the minimum integer $m$ such that any family $\mathcal{F}$ consisting of $k$-sized sets of cardinality at least $m$ always contain a sunflower of size $s$. The Erdős-Rado Sunflower Conjecture states that for every $s >2$, there is an constant $C=C(s)$ such that $f(k,s) \leq C^k$.
