We show that for every "locally finite" unit-preserving completely positive map P acting on a C*, there is a corresponding *-automorphism α of another unital C*-algebra such that the two sequences P, P2, P3, … and α, α2, α3, … have the same asymptotic behavior. The automorphism α is uniquely determined by P up to conjugacy. Similar results hold for normal completely positive maps on von Neumann algebras, as well as for one-parameter semigroups. These results are operator algebraic counterparts of the classical theory of Perron and Frobenius on the structure of square matrices with nonnegative entries.

We will consider completely positive maps defined on tensor products of von Neumann algebras and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space and particularly certain convex subsets of the set of such maps. We show that when one of the marginal maps of such a map is an extreme point, then the marginals uniquely determine the map. We will further prove that when both of the marginals are extreme, then the whole map is extreme. We show that this general result is the common source of several well-known results dealing with, e.g., jointly measurable observables. We also obtain new insight especially in the realm of quantum instruments and their marginal observables and channels.

AbstractCompletely positive maps defined by an irreducible correspondence between two von Neumann algebras M and N are introduced. We give results about their structure and characterize, among them, those which are extreme points in the convex set of all unital completely positive maps from M to N. As particular cases we obtain known results of M. D. Choi [4] on completely positive maps between complex matrices and of J. A. Mingo [8] on inner completely positive maps.

Let C*(E) = C*(se, pv) be the graph C*-algebra of a directed graph E = (E0, E1) with the vertices E0 and the edges E1. We prove that if E is a finite graph (possibly with sinks) and φE: C*(E) → C*(E) is the canonical completely positive map defined by then Voiculescu's topological entropy ht(φE) of φE is log r(AE), where r(AE) is the spectral radius of the edge matrix AE of E. This extends the same result known for finite graphs with no sinks. We also consider the map φE when E is a locally finite irreducible infinite graph and prove that , where the supremum is taken over the set of all finite subgraphs of E.

AbstractAn intrinsic characterization is given of those von Neumann algebras which are injective objects in the category of C*-algebras with completely positive maps. For countably generated von Neumann algebras several such characterizations have been given, so it is in fact enough to observe that an injective von Neumann algebra is generated by an upward directed collection of injective countably generated sub von Neumann algebras. The present work also shows that three of the intrinsic characterizations known in the countably generated case hold in general.

Consider a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$, a von Neumann algebra $M$, a unital sub-$C^*$-algebra $C\subset A$ and a unital $*$-homomorphism $\pi\colon C\to M$. Let $u\colon A\to M$ be a decomposable map (i.e. a linear combination of completely positive maps) which is a $C$-bimodule map with respect to $\pi$. We show that $u$ is a linear combination of $C$-bimodule completely positive maps if and only if there exists a projection $e\in \pi(C)'$ such that $u$ is valued in $\mathit{e\mkern0.5muMe}$ and $e\pi({\cdot})e$ has a completely positive extension $A\to \mathit{e\mkern0.5muMe}$. We also show that this condition is always fulfilled when $C$ has the weak expectation property.

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.
