Abstract: Hajnal and Szemeredi proved that every graph G with |G|=ks and minimum degree at least k(s-1) contains k vertex disjoint s-cliques; moreover this degree bound is optimal. We extend their theorem to directed graphs by showing that every directed graph D with |D|=ks and minimum (total) degree at least 2k(s-1)-1 contains k vertex disjoint transitive tournaments on s vertices. Our result implies the Hajnal-Szemeredi Theorem, and the degree bound is optimal. We also make some conjectures regarding even more general results for multigraphs and partitioning into other tournaments. One of these conjectures is supported by an asymptotic result.
