Schwarz inequalities and the decomposition of positive maps on C*-algebras

Author(s):

In recent years there has been considerable progress in the study of certain linear maps of C*-algebras which preserve the natural partial ordering. The most tractable such maps, the completely positive ones, have proved to be of great importance in the structure theory of C*-algebras(4). However general positive (order-preserving) linear maps are (at present) very intractable. For example, there is no algebraic formula which enables one to construct a general positive map, even on the algebra of 3 3 complex matrices. It is therefore of interest to study conditions stronger than positivity, but weaker than complete positivity.

The objective of this paper is to give some concrete distinctions between positive linear maps and completely positive linear maps on C*-algebras of operators.Herein, C*-algebras possess an identity and are written in German type . Capital letters A, B, C stand for operators, script letters for vector spaces, small letters x, y, z for vectors. Capital Greek letters Φ, Ψ stand for linear maps on C*-algebras, small Greek letters α, β, γ for complex numbers.We denote by the collection of all n × n complex matrices. () = ⊗ is the C*-algebra of n × n matrices over .

The main result asserts that given two monotone complete C*-algebras A and B, B is faithfully represented as a monotone closed C*-subalgebra of the monotone complete C*-algebra End A(X) consisting of all bounded module endomorphisms of some self-dual Hilbert A-module X if and only if there are sufficiently many normal completely positive maps of B into A. The key to the proof is the fact that each pre-Hilbert A-module can be completed uniquely to a self-dual Hilbert A-module.

Bures had defined a metric on the set of normal states on a von Neumann algebra using GNS representations of states. This notion has been extended to completely positive maps between C*-algebras by Kretschmann, Schlingemann and Werner. We present a Hilbert C*-module version of this theory. We show that we do get a metric when the completely positive maps under consideration map to a von Neumann algebra. Further, we include several examples and counter examples. We also prove a rigidity theorem, showing that representation modules of completely positive maps which are close to the identity map contain a copy of the original algebra.

The Local Lifting Property (LLP) is a localized version of projectivity for completely positive maps between $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras. Outside of the nuclear case, very few $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras are known to have the LLP\@. In this article, we show that the LLP holds for the algebraic contraction $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras introduced by Hadwin and further studied by Loring and Shulman. We also show that the universal Pythagorean $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras introduced by Brothier and Jones have the Lifting Property.

In this note, we study the faces of some convex subsets ofCPc(A,B(ℋ))(the continuous completely positive linear maps from pro-C*-algebraAtoB(ℋ)).
