Abstract
In this paper, we prove that for any , there exist infinitely many minimal asymmetric k-uniform hypergraphs. This is in a striking contrast to , where it has been proved recently that there are exactly 18 minimal asymmetric graphs.
We also determine, for every , the minimum size of an asymmetric k-uniform hypergraph.
