The structure of cones of positive and k-positive maps acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is investigated. Special emphasis is given to their duality relations to the sets of superpositive and k-superpositive maps. We characterize…

This is a revised form of the previous paper in which we study cones of positive maps of B(H) into itself. We add the result that the dual cone of a symmetric mapping cone is itself a symmetric mapping cone. As applications we obtain…

We show that each positive map from B(K) to B(H) with K and H finite dimensional Hilbert spaces is a scalar multiple of a map of the form $Tr - \psi$ with $\psi$ completely positive. This is used to give necessary and sufficient conditions…

We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…

We study positive maps of B(K) into B(H) for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces K and H. Our main emphasis is on how Choi matrices and estimates of their norms with respect to mapping cones reflect various properties of the maps. Special…

Let $H$ and $K$ be (finite or infinite dimensional) complex Hilbert spaces. A characterization of positive completely bounded normal linear maps from ${\mathcal B}(H)$ into ${\mathcal B}(K)$ is given, which particularly gives a…

We study mapping cones and their dual cones of positive maps of the n by n matrices into itself. For a natural class of cones there is a close relationship between maps in the cone, super-positive maps, and separable states. In particular…

Using the natural duality between linear functionals on tensor products of C*-algebras with the trace class operators on a Hilbert space H and linear maps of the C*-algebra into B(H), we study the relationship between separability,…

For a proper cone $K$ and its dual cone $K^*$ in $\mathbb R^n$, the complementarity set of $K$ is defined as ${\mathbb C}(K)=\{(x,y): x\in K,\; y\in K^*,\, x^\top y=0\}$. It is known that ${\mathbb C}(K)$ is an $n$-dimensional manifold in…

The Z-property of a linear map with respect to a cone is an extension of the notion of Z-matrices. In a recent paper of Orlitzky (see Corollary 6.2 in M. Orlitzky. Positive and $\mathbf{Z}$-operators on closed convex cones, Electron. J…

In this paper we consider power means of positive Hilbert space operators both in the conventional and in the Kubo-Ando senses. We describe the corresponding isomorphisms (bijective transformations respecting those means as binary…

The problem of classification of decomposable (in the sense of Stormer) positive maps between matrix algebras is presented. We propose the new notion of "finite" version of decomposability ($k$-decomposabilty). The characterisation of…

If $K$ and $L$ are mutually dual closed convex cones in a Hilbert space with the metric projections onto them denoted by $P_K$ and $P_L$ respectively, then the following two assertions are equivalent: (i) $P_K$ is isotone with respect to…

An alternative, geometrical proof of a known theorem concerning the decomposition of positive maps of the matrix algebra $M_{2}(\mathbb{C})$ has been presented. The premise of the proof is the identification of positive maps with operators…

Using the natural duality between linear functionals on tensor products of C*-algebras with the trace class operators on a Hilbert space H and linear maps of the C*-algebra into B(H), we give two characterizations of separability, one…

We obtain an infinite-dimensional cone of singular twisted Hilbert spaces $Z(\varphi)$ which are isomorphic to their duals but not to their conjugate duals. We do that by showing that the subset of all bi-Lipschitz maps from $[0, \infty)$…

Positive bi-linear maps between matrix algebras play important roles to detect tri-partite entanglement by the duality between bi-linear maps and tri-tensor products. We exhibit indecomposable positive bi-linear maps between $2\times 2$…

We investigate the space of quantum operations, as well as the larger space of maps which are positive, but not completely positive. A constructive criterion for decomposability is presented. A certain class of unistochastic operations,…

We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c) completely positive, d) extended by identity impose…

In this paper we consider the cone of all positive, bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space, and examine bijective maps that preserve absolute continuity in both directions. It turns out that these maps…
