Decompositions into isomorphic rainbow spanning trees

Abstract

A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colours. Our main result implies that, given any optimal colouring of a sufficiently large complete graph K2nK_{2n}, there exists a decomposition of K2nK_{2n} into isomorphic rainbow spanning trees. This settles conjectures of Brualdi--Hollingsworth (from 1996) and Constantine (from 2002) for large graphs.Comment: Version accepted to appear in JCT
