Given positive integers $p,q$. For any integer $k\ge2$, an edge coloring of the complete $k$-graph $K_n^{(k)}$ is said to be a $(p,q)$-coloring if every copy of $K_p^{(k)}$ receives at least $q$ colors. The Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s function $f_k(n,p,q)$ is the minimum number of colors that are needed for $K_n^{(k)}$ to have a $(p,q)$-coloring. Conlon, Fox, Lee and Sudakov (\emph{IMRN, 2015}) conjectured that for any positive integers $p, k$ and $i$ with $k\ge3$ and $1\le i<k$, $f_k(n,p,{{p-i}\choose{k-i}})=(\log_{(i-1)}n)^{o(1)}$, where $\log_{(i)}n$ is an iterated $i$-fold logarithm in $n$. It has been verified to be true for $k=3, p=4, i=1$ by Conlon et. al (\emph{IMRN, 2015}), for $k=3, p=5, i=2$ by Mubayi (\emph{JGT, 2016}), and for all $k\ge 4, p=k+1,i=1$ by B. Janzer and O. Janzer (\emph{JCTB, 2024}). In this paper, we give new constructions and show that this conjecture holds for infinitely many new cases, i.e., it holds for all $k\ge4$, $p=k+2$ and $i=k-1$.

    math.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    r_4(5,n) is at least 2^{2^{c n^{1/7}}}, determining the tower growth rate of r_k(k+1,n) for hypergraph Ramsey numbers.

    Improves r_k(k+1,k+1) > s_3(⌊k/2⌋-2) for k≥6 and proves s_3(k) ≥ (twr_{k-2}(2))^2 for k≥5, yielding r_k(k+1,k+1) > (twr_{⌊k/2⌋-4}(2))^2 for k≥14.

  3. A Note on Generalized Erd\H{o}s-Rogers Problems

    math.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    f^{(4)}_{5^{-},6}(N) equals (log log N) to the Theta(1) power, with improved lower bounds r_4(6,n) >= 2^{2^{c sqrt(n)}} and r_k(k+2,n).

  4. An improved double-exponential lower bound for $r_4(5,n)$

    math.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The Ramsey number r_4(5,n) is at least 2^{2^{Omega(n^{1/5})}}, an improvement over the prior 2^{2^{Omega(n^{1/7})}} achieved by reducing greedy layers in the construction from seven to five.

  5. An improved double-exponential lower bound for $r_4(5,n)$

    math.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The paper establishes the improved lower bound r_4(5,n) >= 2^{2^{Omega(n^{1/5})}} for the 4-uniform 5-clique Ramsey number by reducing greedy local-maxima selection from seven layers to five in a modified construction.
