On unimodular tournaments

A tournament is unimodular if the determinant of its skew-adjacency matrix is $1$. In this paper, we give some properties and constructions of unimodular tournaments. A unimodular tournament $T$ with skew-adjacency matrix $S$ is invertible if $S^{-1}$ is the skew-adjacency matrix of a tournament. A spectral characterization of invertible tournaments is given. Lastly, we show that every $n$-tournament can be embedded in a unimodular tournament by adding at most $n - \lfloor\log_2(n)\rfloor$ vertices.
