N2 - Consider a 3-uniform hypergraph H with n vertices. A tight Hamilton cycle C ⊂ H is a collection of n edges for which there is an ordering of the vertices v1,...,vn where every triple of consecutive vertices {vi,vi+1,vi+2} is an edge of C (indices considered modulo n). We develop new techniques which show that under certain natural pseudo-random conditions, almost all edges of H can be covered by edge-disjoint tight Hamilton cycles, for n divisible by 4. Consequently, random 3-uniform hypergraphs can be almost completely packed with tight Hamilton cycles whp, for n divisible by 4 and p not too small. Along the way, we develop a similar result for packing Hamilton cycles in pseudo-random digraphs with even numbers of vertices.
