| contents | Let $Q$ be an $s$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph, and let $H$ be an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph. Denote by $\mathcal{N}(Q,H)$ the number of isomorphic copies of $Q$ in $H$. For a hereditary family $\mathcal{P}$ of $r$-uniform hypergraphs, define $$π(Q,\mathcal{P}):=\lim\limits_{n\to \infty}\binom{n}{s}^{-1}\max\{\mathcal{N}(Q,H): H\in \mathcal{P}~~\mbox{and}~~|V(H)|=n\}.$$ For $p\geq1$, the $(p,Q)$-spectral radius of $H$ is defined as $$λ^{(p)}(Q,H):=\max_{\|\mathbf{x}\|_{p}=1}s!\sum_{\{i_{1},\ldots,i_{s}\}\in \binom{[n]}{s}}\mathcal{N}(Q,H[\{i_{1},\ldots,i_{s}\}])x_{i_{1}}\cdots x_{i_{s}}.$$
In this paper, we present a systematically investigation of the parameter $λ^{(p)}(Q,H)$. First, we prove that the limit $$λ^{(p)}(Q,\mathcal{P}):=\lim\limits_{n\to \infty}n^{s/p-s}\max\{λ^{(p)}(Q,H): H\in \mathcal{P}~~\mbox{and}~~|V(H)|=n\}$$ exists, and for $p>1$, it satisfies $$π(Q,\mathcal{P})=λ^{(p)}(Q,\mathcal{P}).$$
Second, we study spectral generalized Turán problems.
Specifically, we establish a spectral stability result and apply it to derive a spectral version of the Erdős Pentagon Problem: for $p\geq1$ and sufficiently large $n$, the balanced blow-up of $C_{5}$ maximizes $λ^{(p)}(C_{5},H)$ among all $n$-vertex triangle-free graphs $H$, thereby improving a result of Liu \cite{Liu2025}. Furthermore, we show that for $p\geq1$ and sufficiently large $n$, the $l$-partite Turán graph $T_{l}(n)$ attains the maximum $λ^{(p)}(K_{s},H)$ among all $n$-vertex F-free graphs $H$, where $F$ is an edge-critical graph with $χ(F)=l+1$. This provides a spectral analogue of a theorem due to Ma and Qiu \cite{MQ2020}. |
