Decomposability of extremal positive unital maps on M₂(ℂ)
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.
Domination by positive Banach-Saks operators
Given a positive Banach-Saks operator T between two Banach lattices E and F, we give sufficient conditions on E and F in order to ensure that every positive operator dominated by T is Banach-Saks. A counterexample is also given when these conditions are dropped. Moreover, we deduce a characterization of the Banach-Saks property in Banach lattices in terms of disjointness.
Domination properties in ordered Banach algebras
We recall from [9] the definition and properties of an algebra cone C of a real or complex Banach algebra A. It can be shown that C induces on A an ordering which is compatible with the algebraic structure of A. The Banach algebra A is then called an ordered Banach algebra. An important property that the algebra cone C may have is that of normality. If C is normal, then the order structure and the topology of A are reconciled in a certain way. Ordered Banach algebras have interesting spectral properties....
