Published Aug 15, 2013• 1 citation

Abstract

It is shown that each positive map between matrix algebras is the sum of a maximal decomposable map and an atomic map which is both optimal and co-optimal. The result is analyzed in detail for the positive projection onto a spin factor.

Decomposable and atomic projection maps

Erling Størmer

It is shown that a trace invariant projection map, i.e. a positive unital idempotent map, of a finite dimensional C*-algebra into itself is non-decomposable if and only if it is atomic, or equivalently not the sum of a 2-positive and a 2-copositive map. In particular projections onto spin factors of dimension greater than 6 are atomic.

Decomposable and atomic projection maps

Erling Størmer

It is shown that a trace invariant projection map, i.e. a positive unital idempotent map, of a finite dimensional C ∗ −algebra into itself is nondecomposable if and only if it is atomic, or equivalently not the sum of a 2-positive and a 2-copositive map. In particular projections onto spin factors of dimension greater than 6 are atomic.

Exposed positive maps: a sufficient condition

Dariusz Chruściński, Gniewomir Sarbicki

Exposed positive maps in matrix algebras define a dense subset of extremal maps. We provide a sufficient condition for a positive map to be exposed. This is an analogue of a spanning property which guarantees that a positive map is optimal. We analyze a class of decomposable maps for which this condition is also necessary.

Let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] be unital C*-algebras and let [Formula: see text] be positive linear maps from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text].
