This establishes in a strong form a conjecture of Nassar and Yuster and improves on another result of theirs. Our proof combines probabilistic and spectral techniques together with some additional ideas. In particular, we prove a lemma showing that every tournament with many transitive subtournaments has a large subtournament that is almost transitive. This may be of independent interest."}],"date_created":"2021-06-21T06:11:56Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society","publication_status":"published","_id":"9572","oa":1,"scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Wiley","day":"03","article_processing_charge":"No","user_id":"6785fbc1-c503-11eb-8a32-93094b40e1cf"}
