The Multicolour Size--Ramsey Number of an Even Cycle

We determine the $k$-colour size--Ramsey number of even cycles up to absolute constant factors. For every $k\ge2$ and every even $n\ge100\log k$, \[ \widehat R_k(C_n)=\Theta(k^2\log k)n. \] The lower bound follows from the corresponding result of Beke, Li and Sahasrabudhe for paths, while our upper bound improves the p...
