Abstract

A conjecture of Talagrand (2010) states that the so-called expectation and fractional expectation thresholds are always within at most some constant factor from each other. Expectation (resp. fractional expectation) threshold $q$ (resp. $q_f$) for an increasing nontrivial class $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^X$ allows to locate the threshold for $\mathcal{F}$ within a logarithmic factor (these are important breakthrough results of Park and Pham (2022), resp. Frankston, Kahn, Narayanan and Park (2019)). We will survey what is known about the relation between $q$ and $q_f$ and prove some further special cases of Talagrand's conjecture.<br />Comment: 17 pages, 0 figures
