Extension results for boolean maps and a class of systems of linear inequalities
Abstract
In this paper we introduce the notion of core for two specific classes of boolean maps on finite involution posets (which are a generalization of the boolean lattices) and we prove some extension results for such families of boolean maps. Through the properties of the core, we provide a complete characterization of such maps. The main purpose of such abstract results is their application to the study of the compatibility of a particular class of systems of linear inequalities related to a conjecture of Manickam, Mikl\"os and Singhi (ManSin88, ManMik87), still unsolved and that can be considered dual to the theorem of Erd\"os-Ko-Rado erd-ko-rad.
