Hypergraph codegree ($d_H(\sigma )=|\{e:\sigma \subseteq e\}|$)

The codegree of a vertex set $\sigma$ in a hypergraph is the number of hyperedges containing every vertex in $\sigma$. For a singleton this is the hypergraph vertex degree; for two vertices it measures how often those vertices occur together. Subset codegrees of all sizes control the overlap relevant to the hypergraph container theorem.
