#### Transversal $C_k$-factors in subgraphs of the balanced blowup of $C_k$

###### Theodore Molla (University of South Florida)

Abstract: Call a blowup of a graph an $n$-blowup if each part has size $n$. For a subgraph $G$ of a blowup of $F$, we define the minimum partial degree of $G$ to be the smallest minimum degree over all of the bipartite subgraphs of $G$ that correspond to edges of $F$. Johannson proved that when $G$ is a spanning subgraph of the $n$-blowup of a triangle with minimum partial degree at least $2n/3 + n^{1/2}$, then G contains $n$ vertex disjoint triangles. Fischer's Conjecture, which was proved by Keevash and Mycroft in 2015, is a generalization of this result to complete graphs larger than the triangle. Another generalization, conjectured independently by Fischer and Häggkvist, is the following: If $G$ is a spanning subgraph of the $n$-blowup of $C_k$ with minimum partial degree at least $(1 + 1/k)n/2 + 1$, then $G$ contains $n$ vertex disjoint copies of $C_k$ that each intersect all of the $k$ parts. In this talk, we will discuss a proof of an asymptotic version of this conjecture.

This is joint work with Beka Ergemlidze.
