Abstract

Let τ\tau be a linear map from a unital CC^*-algebra \CMcalA\CMcal A to a von Neumann algebra \mathematicalB\mathematical B and let \CMcalC\CMcal C be a unital CC^*-algebra. A map TT from a Hilbert \CMcalA\CMcal A-module EE to a von Neumann \CMcalC\CMcal C-\CMcalB\CMcal B module FF is called a τ\tau-map if T(x),T(y)=τ(x,y) \mboxforall x,yE.\langle T(x),T(y)\rangle=\tau(\langle x, y\rangle)~\mbox{for all}~x,y\in E. A Stinespring type theorem for τ\tau-maps and its covariant version are obtained when τ\tau is completely positive. We show that there is a bijective correspondence between the set of all τ\tau-maps from EE to FF which are (u,u)(u',u)-covariant with respect to a dynamical system (G,η,E)(G,\eta,E) and the set of all (u,u)(u',u)-covariant τ~\widetilde{\tau}-maps from the crossed product E×ηGE\times_{\eta} G to FF, where τ\tau and τ~\widetilde{\tau} are completely positive.
