Title: A Proof of Nash-Williams' Conjecture

Abstract: In 1970, Nash-Williams conjectured that every triangle-divisible graph on n vertices with minimum degree at least 3n/4 has a triangle-decomposition provided n is large enough. In this talk, we overview our recent proof of this conjecture, highlighting the new techniques we developed to resolve the fractional version as well as its full resolution. Joint work with Luke Postle.
