Progress towards Nash-Williams' Conjecture on Triangle Decompositions (1909.00514v3)

Published 2 Sep 2019 in math.CO

Abstract: Partitioning the edges of a graph into edge disjoint triangles forms a triangle decomposition of the graph. A famous conjecture by Nash-Williams from 1970 asserts that any sufficiently large, triangle divisible graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $0.75 n$ admits a triangle decomposition. In the light of recent results, the fractional version of this problem is of central importance. A fractional triangle decomposition is an assignment of non-negative weights to each triangle in a graph such that the sum of the weights along each edge is precisely 1. We show that for any graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $0.827327 n$ admits a fractional triangle decomposition. Combined with results of Barber, K\"{u}hn, Lo, and Osthus, this implies that for every sufficiently large triangle divisible graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $0.82733 n$ admits a triangle decomposition.
