Monochromatic triangle packings in red-blue graphs

Abstract

We prove that in every 22-edge-colouring of KnK_n there is a collection of n2/12+o(n2)n^2/12 + o(n^2) edge-disjoint monochromatic triangles, thus confirming a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. We also prove a corresponding stability result, showing that 22-colourings that are close to attaining the aforementioned bound have a colour class which is close to bipartite. As part of our proof, we confirm a recent conjecture of Tyomkyn about the fractional version of this problem.
