Abstract

Let Cn denote the 3-uniform hypergraph loose cycle, that is the hypergraph with vertices v1.....,vn and edges v1v2v3, v3v4v5, v5v6v7,.....,vn-1vnv1. We prove that every red-blue colouring of the edges of the complete 3-uniform hypergraph with N vertices contains a monochromatic copy of Cn, where N is asymptotically equal to 5n/4. Moreover this result is (asymptotically) best possible.
