    In this paper, we prove an analogue of Corr\'adi and Hajnal's classical theorem. There exists n0n_0 such that for every n∈3Zn \in 3\mathbb{Z} when n≥n0n \ge n_0 the following holds. If GG is an oriented graph on nn vertices and every vertex has both indegree and outdegree at least 7n/187n/18, then GG contains a perfect transitive triangle tiling, which is a collection of vertex-disjoint transitive triangles covering every vertex of GG. This result is best possible, as, for every n∈3Zn \in 3\mathbb{Z}, there exists an oriented graph GG on nn vertices without a perfect transitive triangle tiling in which every vertex has both indegree and outdegree at least ⌈7n/18⌉−1.\lceil 7n/18\rceil - 1.Comment: To appear in Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B (JCTB

    Transitive tournament tilings in oriented graphs with large minimum total degree

    Let T⃗k\vec{T}_k be the transitive tournament on kk vertices. We show that every oriented graph on n=4mn=4m vertices with minimum total degree (11/12+o(1))n(11/12+o(1))n can be partitioned into vertex disjoint T⃗4\vec{T}_4's, and this bound is asymptotically tight. We also improve the best known bound on the minimum total degree for partitioning oriented graphs into vertex disjoint T⃗k\vec{T}_k's.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures.
