Abstract

A rainbow coloring of a graph is a coloring of the edges with distinct colors. We prove the following extension of Wilson's Theorem. For every integer k there exists an n₀ = n₀(k) so that for all n > n ₀, if n mod k(k - 1) ε {1, k}, then every properly edge-colored K_n contains (n/2)/(k/2) pairwise edge-disjoint rainbow copies of Kk. Our proof uses, as a main ingredient, a double application of the probabilistic method.
