On the Structure of Positive Maps between Matrix Algebras

چکیده
We will be concerned with linear positive maps φ : Mm(C) → Mn(C). To fix notation we begin with setting up the notation and the relevant terminology (cf. [7]). We say that φ is positive if φ(A) is a positive element in Mn(C) for every positive matrix from Mm(C). If k ∈ N, then φ is said to be k-positive (respectively k-copositive) whenever [φ(Aij)] k i,j=1 (respectively [φ(Aji)] k i,j=1) is positive in Mk(Mn(C)) for every positive element [Aij ] k i,j=1 of Mk(Mm(C)). If φ is k-positive (respectively k-copositive) for every k ∈ N then we say that φ is completely positive (respectively completely copositive). Finally, we say that the map φ is decomposable if it has the form φ = φ1 + φ2 where φ1 is a completely positive map while φ2 is a completely copositive one. By P(m,n) we denote the set of all positive maps acting between Mm(C) and Mn(C) and by P1(m,n) – the subset of P(m,n) composed of all positive unital maps (i.e. such that φ(I) = I). Recall that P(m,n) has the structure of a convex cone while P1(m,n) is its convex subset. In the sequel we will use the notion of a face of a convex cone.

On Preserving Properties of Linear Maps on $C^{*}$-algebras
Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital $C^{*}$-algebras and $varphi:A rightarrow B$ be a linear map. In this paper, we investigate the structure of linear maps between two $C^{*}$-algebras that preserve a certain property or relation. In particular, we show that if $varphi$ is unital, $B$ is commutative and $V(varphi(a)^{*}varphi(b))subseteq V(a^{*}b)$ for all $a,bin A$, then $varphi$ is a $*$-homomorph...
متن کاملArens Regularity and Weak Amenability of Certain Matrix Algebras
Motivated by an Arens regularity problem, we introduce the concepts of matrix Banach space and matrix Banach algebra. The notion of matrix normed space in the sense of Ruan is a special case of our matrix normed system. A matrix Banach algebra is a matrix Banach space with a completely contractive multiplication. We study the structure of matrix Banach spaces and matrix Banach algebras. Then we...

In this paper we define an order structure on the $p$-operator projective tensor product of Herz algebras and we show that the canonical isometric isomorphism between $A_p(Gtimes H)$ and $A_p(G)widehat{otimes}^p A_p(H)$ is an order isomorphism for amenable groups $G$ and $H$.
متن کاملA class of certain properties of approximately n-multiplicative maps between locally multiplicatively convex algebras
We extend the notion of approximately multiplicative to approximately n-multiplicative maps between locally multiplicatively convex algebras and study some properties of these maps. We prove that every approximately n-multiplicative linear functional on a functionally continuous locally multiplicatively convex algebra is continuous. We also study the relationship between approximately mu...

For Fr$acute{mathbf{text{e}}}$chet algebras $(A, (p_n))$ and $(B, (q_n))$, a linear map $T:Arightarrow B$ is textit{almost multiplicative} with respect to $(p_n)$ and $(q_n)$, if there exists $varepsilongeq 0$ such that $q_n(Tab - Ta Tb)leq varepsilon p_n(a) p_n(b),$ for all $n in mathbb{N}$, $a, b in A$, and it is called textit{weakly almost multiplicative} with respect to $(p_n)$ and $(q_n)$...
متن کاملThe witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers
One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...
