A hypergraph Turán theorem via lagrangians of intersecting families

Let \( K_{3,3}^3 \), be the 3-graph with 15 vertices {x i , y i :1 ≤ i ≤ 3} and {z ij :1 ≤ i, j ≤ 3}, and 11 edges {x 1 , x 2 , x 3 }. {y 1 , y 2 , y 3 } and {{x i , y j , z ij }: 1 ≤ i, j ≤ 3}. We show that for large n, the unique largest \( K_{3,3}^3 \)-free 3-graph on n vertices is a balanced blow-up of the complete 3-graph on 5 vertices. Our proof uses the stability method and a result on Lagrangians of intersecting families that has independent interest.
