A k-uniform tight cycle
$C_s^k$
is a hypergraph on s > k vertices with a cyclic ordering such that every k consecutive vertices under this ordering form an edge. The pair (k, s) is admissible if gcd (k, s) = 1 or k / gcd (k,s) is even. We prove that if
$s \ge 2{k^2}$
and H is a k-uniform hypergraph with minimum codegree at least (1/2 + o(1))|V(H)|, then every vertex is covered by a copy of
$C_s^k$
. The bound is asymptotically sharp if (k, s) is admissible. Our main tool allows us to arbitrarily rearrange the order in which a tight path wraps around a complete k-partite k-uniform hypergraph, which may be of independent interest.
For hypergraphs F and H, a perfect F-tiling in H is a spanning collection of vertex-disjoint copies of F. For
$k \ge 3$
, there are currently only a handful of known F-tiling results when F is k-uniform but not k-partite. If s ≢ 0 mod k, then
$C_s^k$
is not k-partite. Here we prove an F-tiling result for a family of non-k-partite k-uniform hypergraphs F. Namely, for
$s \ge 5{k^2}$
, every k-uniform hypergraph H with minimum codegree at least (1/2 + 1/(2s) + o(1))|V(H)| has a perfect
$C_s^k$
-tiling. Moreover, the bound is asymptotically sharp if k is even and (k, s) is admissible.
