Abstract

Given a simple graph Γ, we describe a “lifting” to a 3-uniform hypergraph φ(Γ) that sends the complement of Γ to the complement of φ(Γ). We consider the effects of this lifting on cycles, complete subhypergraphs, and complete subhypergraphs missing a single hyperedge. Our results lead to natural lower bounds for some hypergraph Ramsey numbers.
