Lower Bound on the Size-Ramsey Number of Tight Paths

Combinatorics 2022-06-22 v2

Abstract

The size-Ramsey number R(k)(H)R^{(k)}(H) of a kk-uniform hypergraph HH is the minimum number of edges in a kk-uniform hypergraph GG with the property that every `22-edge coloring' of GG contains a monochromatic copy of HH. For k2k\ge2 and nNn\in\mathbb{N}, a kk-uniform tight path on nn vertices Pn(k)P^{(k)}_{n} is defined as a kk-uniform hypergraph on nn vertices for which there is an ordering of its vertices such that the edges are all sets of kk consecutive vertices with respect to this order. We prove a lower bound on the size-Ramsey number of kk-uniform tight paths, which is, considered assymptotically in both the uniformity kk and the number of vertices nn, R(k)(Pn(k))=Ω(log(k)n)R^{(k)}(P^{(k)}_{n})= \Omega\big(\log (k)n\big).
