The Ramsey Number for 3-Uniform Tight Hypergraph Cycles
Let C(3)n denote the 3-uniform tight cycle, that is, the hypergraph with vertices v1, .â.â., vn and edges v1v2v3, v2v3v4, .â.â., vnâ1vnv1, vnv1v2. We prove that the smallest integer N = N(n) for which every redâblue colouring of the edges of the complete 3-uniform hypergraph with N vertices contains a monochromatic copy of C(3)n is asymptotically equal to 4n/3 if n is divisible by 3, and 2n otherwise. The proof uses the regularity lemma for hypergraphs of Frankl and RĂśdl
