Abstract

We analyze semigroups of decomposable maps on C*-algebras in context of the algebraic structure of associated infinitesimal generators. Case of von Neumann algebras, including B(H)B(\mathcal{H}) for H\mathcal{H} a Hilbert space, is also addressed. We then elaborate on D-divisible (decomposably divisible) dynamical maps on the Banach space of trace class operators. Our analysis extends earlier results on decomposable dynamical maps on matrix algebras (J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 56 485202) and provides a partial generalization of the seminal work of Lindblad (Commun. Math. Phys. 48 119-130) on completely positive semigroups.
