A -algebraic Schoenberg theorem
Let be a -algebra, a compact abelian group, an action of by -automorphisms of the fixed point algebra of and the dense sub-algebra of -finite elements in . Further let be a linear operator from into which commutes with and vanishes on . We prove that is a complete dissipation if and only if is closable and its closure generates a -semigroup of completely positive contractions. These complete dissipations are classified in terms of certain twisted negative definite...
