Partitioning edge-coloured infinite complete bipartite graphs into monochromatic paths
read the original abstract
In 1978, Richard Rado showed that every edge-coloured complete graph of countably infinite order can be partitioned into monochromatic paths of different colours. He asked whether this remains true for uncountable complete graphs and a notion of \emph{generalised paths}. In 2016, Daniel Soukup answered this in the affirmative and conjectured that a similar result should hold for complete bipartite graphs with bipartition classes of the same infinite cardinality, namely that every such graph edge-coloured with $r$ colours can be partitioned into $2r-1$ monochromatic generalised paths with each colour being used at most twice. In the present paper, we give an affirmative answer to Soukup's conjecture.
