Abstract

Thomassen conjectured that there is a function f(k) such that every strongly f(k)-connected tournament contains k edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles. This conjecture was recently proved by Kühn, Lapinskas, Osthus, and Patel who showed that f(k)≤O(k2(logk)2) and conjectured that there is a constant C such that f(k) ≤ Ck2. We prove this conjecture. As a second application of our methods, we answer a question of Thomassen about spanning linkages in highly connected tournaments.
