On boundary representations

Abstract

Let SS be an operator system sitting in its C*-envelope Cmin(S)C^*_{\mathrm{min}}(S). Starting with a pure state on SS, let FF be the face of state extensions to Cmin(S)C^*_{\mathrm{min}}(S). The dilation theorem of Davidson-Kennedy shows that the GNS representations corresponding to some of the extreme states of FF are boundary representations. We construct an explicit example in which FF is an interval and only one of the two extreme points yields a boundary representation.
