Asymptotic lifts of positive linear maps

William Arveson and Erling Størmer

Vol. 233 (2007), No. 1, 1–14
Abstract

We show that the notion of asymptotic lift generalizes naturally to normal positive maps ϕ : M M acting on von Neumann algebras M. We focus on cases in which the domain of the asymptotic lift can be embedded as an operator subsystem MM and characterize when M is a Jordan subalgebra of M in terms of the asymptotic multiplicative properties of ϕ.
