Abstract

Let {ϕs}sS\{\phi_s\}_{s\in S} be a commutative semigroup of completely positive, contractive, and weak*-continuous linear maps acting on a von Neumann algebra NN. Assume there exists a semigroup {αs}sS\{\alpha_s\}_{s\in S} of weak*-continuous *-endomorphisms of some larger von Neumann algebra MNM\supset N and a projection pMp\in M with N=pMpN=pMp such that αs(1p)1p\alpha_s(1-p)\le 1-p for every sSs\in S and ϕs(y)=pαs(y)p\phi_s(y)=p\alpha_s(y)p for all yNy\in N. If infsSαs(1p)=0\inf_{s\in S}\alpha_s(1-p)=0 then we show that the map E:MNE:M\to N defined by E(x)=pxpE(x)=pxp for xMx\in M induces a complete isometry between the fixed point spaces of {αs}sS\{\alpha_s\}_{s\in S} and {ϕs}sS\{\phi_s\}_{s\in S}.
