Title: 2-Factorizations of the Complete Graph

Abstract:
Factorization into triples was introduced by Kirkman in 1848, though the so
called Kirkman problem was only solved in 1971 by Ray-Chadhuri and Wilson. In
the 1960's Ringel introduced the problem of factoring the complete graph into an
arbitrary specified 2-factor, known as the Oberwolfach problem. This problem
remains open, though many special cases are known. Subsequently a number of
variations on this problem have been suggested, such as the Hamilton-Waterloo
problem. We will give some recent results and discuss some new variations.
