Erdős Problem 562

open Combinatorics Filter Realopen scoped Asymptotics namespace Erdos562

Let $R_r(n)$ denote the $r$-uniform hypergraph Ramsey number: the minimal $m$ such that if we $2$-colour all edges of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $m$ vertices then there must be some monochromatic copy of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices.

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