Abstract

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $\ell \ge 2$, we denote by $\alpha _{\ell }(G)$ the maximum size of a $K_{\ell }$-free subset of vertices in $V(G)$. A recent question of Nenadov and Pehova asks for determining the best possible minimum degree conditions forcing clique-factors in $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with $\alpha _{\ell }(G) = o(n)$, which can be seen as a Ramsey–Turán variant of the celebrated Hajnal–Szemerédi theorem. In this paper we find the asymptotical sharp minimum degree threshold for $K_r$-factors in $n$-vertex graphs $G$ with $\alpha _\ell (G)=n^{1-o(1)}$ for all $r\ge \ell \ge 2$.
