Mirror principle is a general method developed in [LLY1]-[LLY4] to compute characteristic classes and characteristic numbers on moduli spaces of stable maps in terms of hypergeometric type series. The counting of the numbers of curves in Calabi-Yau manifolds from mirror symmetry corresponds to the computation of Euler numbers. This principle computes quite general Hirzebruch multiplicative clas...

We show that the notion of asymptotic lift generalizes naturally to normal positive maps φ : M → M acting on von Neumann algebras M . We focus on cases in which the domain of the asymptotic lift can be embedded as an operator subsystem M∞ ⊆ M , and characterize when M∞ is a Jordan subalgebra of M in terms of the asymptotic multiplicative properties of φ.
