Schoenberg Correspondence for $k$-(Super)Positive Maps on Matrix Algebras

Abstract

We prove a Schoenberg-type correspondence for non-unital semigroups which generalizes an analogous result for unital semigroup proved by Michael Sch\"urmann. It characterizes the generators of semigroups of linear maps on Mn(C)M_n(C) which are kk-positive, kk-superpositive, or kk-entanglement breaking. As a corollary we reprove Lindblad, Gorini, Kossakowski, Sudarshan's theorem. We present some concrete examples of semigroups of operators and study how their positivity properties can improve with time.
