Abstract: The anti-Ramsey problem was introduced by ErdH{o}s, Simonovits and S'{o}s in 1970s. The anti-Ramsey number of a hypergraph mathcalH, ar(n,s,mathcalH), is the smallest integer c such that in any coloring of the edges of the s-uniform complete hypergraph on n vertices with exactly c colors, there is a copy of mathcalH whose edges have distinct colors. In this paper, we determine the anti-Ramsey numbers of linear paths and loose paths in hypergraphs for sufficiently large n, and give bounds for the anti-Ramsey numbers of Berge paths. Similar exact anti-Ramsey numbers are obtained for linear/loose cycles, and bounds are obtained for Berge cycles. Our main tools are path extension technique and stability results on hypergraph Tur'{a}n problems of paths and cycles.
