Let r2r\geq 2 and m1m\geq 1. Every graph with rmrm vertices and minimum degree at least m(r1)m(r-1) contains mm vertex disjoint copies of KrK_r.

When r=2r=2 this follows from Dirac's theorem. Corrádi and Hajnal [CoHa63] proved this when r=3r=3. Hajnal and Szemerédi [HaSz70] proved this for all r4r\geq 4.

A shorter proof was given by Kierstead and Kostochka [KiKo08].

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
