A completely positive map associated with a positive map

Erling Størmer

Vol. 252 (2011), No. 2, 487–492
Abstract

We show that each positive map from B(K) to B(H) is a scalar multiple of a map of the form Trψ with ψ completely positive. This is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions for maps to be 𝒞-positive for a large class of mapping cones; in particular, we apply the results to k-positive maps.

Keywords
mapping cones, completely positive maps, k-positive maps
