Extract

Our aim in this note is to make some conjectures about extremal densities of daisy-free families, where a ‘daisy’ is a certain hypergraph. These questions turn out to be related to some Turán problems in the hypercube, but they are also natural in their own right. We start by giving the daisy conjectures, and some related problems, and shall then go on to describe the connection with vertex-Turán problems in the hypercube.
