Ramsey numbers for 1-degenerate 3-graphs

Abstract: We construct a 3-uniform 1-degenerate hypergraph on $n$ vertices whose 2-colour Ramsey number is $\Omega\big(n^{3/2}/\log n\big)$. This shows that all remaining open cases of the hypergraph Burr-Erd\H{o}s conjecture are false. Our graph is a variant of the celebrated hedgehog graph. We additionally show near-sharp upper bounds, proving that all 3-uniform generalised hedgehogs have 2-colour Ramsey number $O\big(n^{3/2}\big)$.
