COCYCLE PERTURBATION OF QUASIFREE ALGEBRAIC K-FLOW LEADS TO REQUIRED ASYMPTOTIC DYNAMICS OF ASSOCIATED COMPLETELY POSITIVE SEMIGROUP

We study the quasifree algebraic K-flow τ on the hyperfinite factor ℳ with the expanding subfactor [Formula: see text] generated by representations π of the C*-algebra of the canonical anticommutation relations (CAR) [Formula: see text] over separable Hilbert space ℋ. The type of ℳ and [Formula: see text] can be II1 or IIIλ, 0<λ<1, depending on π. The K-flow τ is obtained by the quasifree lifting of one-parameter group ST consisting of shifts in ℋ with the discrete parameter T=Z or the continuous one T=R. We prove that acting on τ by a quasifree inner Markovian cocycle, one can get the required asymptotic behavior of the perturbed group restriction on [Formula: see text].

ON THE INDEX AND DILATIONS OF COMPLETELY POSITIVE SEMIGROUPS

It is known that every semigroup of normal completely positive maps P = {Pt:t≥ 0} of ℬ(H), satisfying Pt(1) = 1 for every t ≥ 0, has a minimal dilation to an E0 acting on ℬ(K) for some Hilbert space K⊇H. The minimal dilation of P is unique up to conjugacy. In a previous paper a numerical index was introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps and it was shown that the index of P agrees with the index of its minimal dilation to an E0-semigroup. However, no examples were discussed, and no computations were made. In this paper we calculate the index of a unital completely positive semigroup whose generator is a bounded operator [Formula: see text] in terms of natural structures associated with the generator. This includes all unital CP semigroups acting on matrix algebras. We also show that the minimal dilation of the semigroup P={ exp tL:t≥ 0} to an E0-semigroup is is cocycle conjugate to a CAR/CCR flow.
