CP-CONVEXITY AND ENTROPY OF CP-MAPS (Advanced Topics of Information Science and Functional Analysis)

Joel A. Tropp, Communicated Marius Junge

Abstract. This paper provides a succinct proof of a 1973 theorem of Lieb that establishes the concavity of a certain trace function. The development relies on a deep result from quantum information theory, the joint convexity of quantum relative entropy, as well as a recent argument due to Carlen and Lieb. 1.

We describe $ω$-limit sets of completely positive (CP) maps over finite-dimensional spaces. In such sets and in its corresponding convex hulls, CP maps present isometric behavior and the states contained in it commute with each other. Motivated by these facts, we describe a quantization procedure based on CP maps which are induced by Markov (transfer) operators. Classical dynamics are described by an action over essentially bounded functions. A non-expansive linear map, which depends on a choice of a probability measure, is the centerpiece connecting phenomena over function and matrix spaces.

We solve, mainly by counterexamples, many natural questions regarding maximal commutative subalgebras invariant under CP-maps or semigroups of CP-maps on a von Neumann algebra. In particular, we discuss the structure of the generators of norm continuous semigroups on [Formula: see text] leaving a maximal commutative subalgebra invariant and show that there exist Markov CP-semigroups on Md without invariant maximal commutative subalgebras for any d > 2.
