Coloring triple systems with local conditions

Combinatorics 2014-10-14 v1

Abstract

We produce an edge-coloring of the complete 3-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with eO(loglogn)e^{O(\sqrt {log log n})} colors such that the edges spanned by every set of five vertices receive at least three distinct colors. This answers the first open case of a question of Conlon-Fox-Lee-Sudakov [1] who asked whether such a coloring exists with (logn)o(1)(log n)^{o(1)} colors.
