Abstract

Let $D$ be a space of $2\times n$ matrices. Then the face of the cone of all completely positive maps from $M_2$ into $M_n$ given by $D$ is an exposed face of the bigger cone of all decomposable positive linear maps if and only if the set of all rank one matrices in $D$ forms a subspace of $D$ together with zero and $D^\perp$ is spanned by rank one matrices.

On the convex set of completely positive linear maps in matrix algebras

Seung-Hyeok Kye

Let PI (respectively CPI) be the convex compact set of all unital positive (respectively completely positive) linear maps from the matrix algebra Mm([Copf ]) into Mn([Copf ]). We show that maximal faces of CPI correspond to one dimensional subspaces of the vector space Mm, n([Copf ]). Furthermore, a maximal face of CPI lies on the boundary of PI if and only if the corresponding subspace is generated by a rank one matrix.

Exposedness of elementary positive maps between matrix algebras

Seung-Hyeok Kye

The positive linear maps Ads which send matrices x to s∗xs play important roles in quantum information theory as well as matrix theory. It was proved by [Marciniak M. Rank properties of exposed positive maps. Linear Multilinear Alg. 2013;61:970–975] that the map Ads generates an exposed ray of the convex cone of all positive linear maps. In this note, we provide two alternative proofs, using Choi matrices and Woronowicz's method, respectively.

Construction of exposed indecomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras

Kil-Chan Ha, Seung-Hyeok Kye

We construct a large class of indecomposable positive linear maps from the matrix algebra into the matrix algebra, which generate exposed extreme rays of the convex cone of all positive maps. We show that extreme points of the dual faces for separable states arising from these maps are parametrized by the Riemann sphere, and the convex hulls of the extreme points arising from a circle parallel to the equator have exactly the same properties with the convex hull of the trigonometric moment curve studied from combinatorial topology. Any interior points of the dual faces are boundary separable states with full ranks. We exhibit concrete examples of such states.

A factorization property of positive maps on $C^*$-algebras

B. V. Rajarama Bhat, Hiroyuki Osaka

The purpose of this short note is to clarify and present a general version of an interesting observation by Piani and Mora (Physic. Rev. A 75, 012305 (2007)), linking complete positivity of linear maps on matrix algebras to decomposability of their ampliations. Let $A_i$, $C_i$ be unital C*-algebras and let $α_i$ be positive linear maps from $A_i$ to $C_i,$ $i=1,2$. We obtain conditions under which any positive map $β$ from the minimal C*-tensor product $A_1 \otimes_{min} A_2$ to $C_1 \otimes_{min} C_2$, such that $ α_1 \otimes α_2 \geq β$, factorizes as $β= γ\otimes α_2$ for some positive map $γ$. In particular we show that when $α_i \colon A_i \rightarrow B(\mathcal H_i)$ are completely positive (CP) maps for some Hilbert spaces $\mathcal H_i$ $(i=1,2)$, and $α_2$ is a pure CP map and $β$ is a CP map so that $α_1 \otimes α_2 - β$ is also CP, then $β= γ\otimes α_2$ for some CP map $γ$. We show that a similar result holds in the context of positive linear maps when $A_2 = C_2 = B(\mathcal H)$ and $α_2 = id$. As an application we extend \cite[IX Theorem]{PM}( revisited recently by Huber et al in \cite{HLLM}) to show that for any linear map $τ$ from a unital C*-algebra $A$ to a C*-algebra $C$, if $τ\otimes id_k$ is decomposable for some $k \geq 2$, where $id_k$ is the identity map on the algebra $M_k(\mathbb {C} )$ of $k\times k$ matrices, then $τ$ is completely positive.

Positive maps of second-order cones

Roland Hildebrand

Let and let be the n-dimensional second-order cone, or Lorentz cone. A linear map M from to is called positive if M[Lm]⊂Ln . The set of positive maps forms a convex cone, the positive cone. Its dual cone, the separable cone, is the convex hull of tensor products x⊗y, where x∈Ln , y∈Lm . The structure of the positive and the separable cones is the subject of the present contribution. We study the action of the automorphism group of the positive cone and provide a complete classification of its orbits by constructing explicitly canonical forms. This enables us to identify and to classify the extreme rays of the positive cone, as well as their dual counterparts, the largest faces of the separable cone. We also characterize positive maps which are scalable to doubly stochastic ones.

A factorization property of positive maps on C∗C^*C∗-algebras
The purpose of this short note is to clarify and present a general version of an interesting observation by Piani and Mora (Physic. Rev. A 75, 012305 (2007)), linking complete positivity of linear maps on matrix algebras to decomposability of their ampliations. Let AiA_iAi​, CiC_iCi​ be unital C*-algebras and let αiα_iαi​ be positive linear maps from AiA_iAi​ to Ci,C_i,Ci​, i=1,2i=1,2i=1,2. We obtain conditions under which any positive map βββ from the minimal C*-tensor product A1⊗minA2A_1 \otimes_{min} A_2A1​⊗min​A2​ to C1⊗minC2C_1 \otimes_{min} C_2C1​⊗min​C2​, such that $ α_1 \otimes α_2 \geq β$, factorizes as β=γ⊗α2β= γ\otimes α_2β=γ⊗α2​ for some positive map γγγ. In particular we show that when αi ⁣:Ai→B(Hi)α_i \colon A_i \rightarrow B(\mathcal H_i)αi​:Ai​→B(Hi​) are completely positive (CP) maps for some Hilbert spaces Hi\mathcal H_iHi​ (i=1,2)(i=1,2)(i=1,2), and α2α_2α2​ is a pure CP map and βββ is a CP map so that α1⊗α2−βα_1 \otimes α_2 - βα1​⊗α2​−β is also CP, then β=γ⊗α2β= γ\otimes α_2β=γ⊗α2​ for some CP map γγγ. We show that a similar result holds in the context of positive linear maps when A2=C2=B(H)A_2 = C_2 = B(\mathcal H)A2​=C2​=B(H) and α2=idα_2 = idα2​=id. As an application we extend \cite[IX Theorem]{PM}( revisited recently by Huber et al in \cite{HLLM}) to show that for any linear map τττ from a unital C*-algebra AAA to a C*-algebra CCC, if τ⊗idkτ\otimes id_kτ⊗idk​ is decomposable for some k≥2k \geq 2k≥2, where idkid_kidk​ is the identity map on the algebra Mk(C)M_k(\mathbb {C} )Mk​(C) of k×kk\times kk×k matrices, then τττ is completely positive.
