On extremal positive maps acting between type I factors

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to the problem of classification of extremal positive linear maps acting between 𝔅(𝒦) and 𝔅(ℋ) where 𝒦 and ℋ are Hilbert spaces. It is shown that every positive map with the property that rank ϕ(P) ≤ 1 for any one-dimensional projection P is a rank 1 preserver. This allows us to characterize all decomposable extremal maps as those which satisfy the above condition. Further, we prove that every extremal positive map which is 2-positive turns out to be automatically...

Decomposability of extremal positive unital maps on M₂(ℂ)

Władysław A. Majewski, Marcin Marciniak (2006)

Similarity:

A map φ: Mₘ(ℂ) → Mₙ(ℂ) is decomposable if it is of the form φ = φ₁ + φ₂ where φ₁ is a CP map while φ₂ is a co-CP map. It is known that if m = n = 2 then every positive map is decomposable. Given an extremal unital positive map φ: M₂(ℂ) → M₂(ℂ) we construct concrete maps (not necessarily unital) φ₁ and φ₂ which give a decomposition of φ. We also show that in most cases this decomposition is unique.
