The Ramsey number of generalized loose paths in uniform Hypergrpahs

Let $H=(V,E)$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph. For each $1 \leq s \leq r-1$, an $s$-path ${\mathcal P}^{r,s}_n$ of length $n$ in $H$ is a sequence of distinct vertices $v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_{s+n(r-s)}$ such that $\{v_{1+i(r-s)},\ldots, v_{s+(i+1)(r-s)}\}\in E(H)$ for each $0 \leq i \leq n-1$.Recently, the Ramsey number of $1$-paths in uniform hypergraphs has received a lot of attention. In this paper, we consider the Ramsey number of $r/2-$paths for even $r$. Namely, we prove the following exact result: $R({\mathcal P}^{r,r/2}_n,{\mathcal P}^{r,r/2}_3)=R({\mathcal P}^{r,r/2}_n,{\mathcal P}^{r,r/2}_4)=\tfrac{(n+1)r}{2}+1.$
