✦ Synopsis


Three classes of finite structures are related by extremal properties: complete d-partite d-uniform hypergraphs, d-dimensional affine cubes of integers, and families of 2 d sets forming a d-dimensional Boolean algebra. We review extremal results for each of these classes and derive new ones for Boolean algebras and hypergraphs, several obtained by employing relationships between the three classes. Related partition or coloring problems are also studied for Boolean algebras. Density results are given for Boolean algebras of sets all of whose atoms are the same size.

1. Introduction

In this section we state definitions and results for Boolean algebras of sets. We defer the proofs of these main results until Sections 4 and 5. In
