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 .

In this expository note, we explain facial structures for the convex cones consisting of positive linear maps, completely positive linear maps, and decomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras, respectively. These will be applied to study the notions of entangled edge states with positive partial transposes and optimality of entanglement witnesses.

AbstractWe introduce the notion of tracial equivalence for $C^*$-algebras. Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital separable $C^*$-algebras. If they are tracially equivalent, then there are two sequences of asymptotically multiplicative contractive completely positive linear maps $\phi_n:A\to B$ and $\psi_n:B\to A$ with a tracial condition such that $\{\phi_n\circ\psi_n\}$ and $\{\psi_n\circ\phi_n\}$ are tracially approximately inner. Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital separable simple $C^*$-algebras with tracial topological rank zero. It is proved that $A$ and $B$ are tracially equivalent if and only if $A$ and $B$ have order isomorphic ranges of tracial states. For the Cantor minimal systems $(X_1,\sigma_1)$ and $(X_2,\sigma_2)$, using a result of Giordano, Putnam and Skau, we show that two such dynamical systems are (topological) orbit equivalent if and only if the associated crossed products $C(X_1)\times_{\sigma_1}\mathbb{Z}$ and $C(X_2)\times_{\sigma_2}\mathbb{Z}$ are tracially equivalent.
