Erdős Problem 562

Let Rr(n)R_r(n) denote the rr-uniform hypergraph Ramsey number: the minimal mm such that if we 22-colour all edges of the complete rr-uniform hypergraph on mm vertices then there must be some monochromatic copy of the complete rr-uniform hypergraph on $n...

Mathematical statement

Let Rr(n)R_r(n) denote the rr-uniform hypergraph Ramsey number: the minimal mm such that if we 22-colour all edges of the complete rr-uniform hypergraph on mm vertices then there must be some monochromatic copy of the complete rr-uniform hypergraph on nn vertices.

Prove that, for r3r \ge 3, logr1Rr(n)rn,\log_{r-1} R_r(n) \asymp_r n, where logr1\log_{r-1} denotes the (r1)(r-1)-fold iterated logarithm.

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
