For every fixed integer r ≥ 3, we prove that every relabeling-invariant Boolean property of simple r -uniform hypergraphs on n vertices satisfies $\mathop{\mathrm{Var}}\nolimits _p(f)\le C_r I_p(f)/(\log n)^{r/(r-1)}$. The constant depends only on r , and the bound holds uniformly for all $0\lt p\lt 1$ without a monotonicity assumption. For increasing properties, it gives the corresponding threshold-width bound with exponent $r/(r-1)$, proving the hypergraph threshold-width conjecture of Friedgut and Kalai.

My 2018 post on the 2-to-2 Games Theorem discussed progress toward Khot’s conjectures and the issue of perfect completeness.
