We show that every multivariable contractive weighted shift dilates to a tuple of commuting unitaries, and hence satisfies von Neumann's inequality. This answers a question of Lubin and Shields. We also exhibit a closely related $3$-tuple…

The purpose of this short note is to clarify and present a general version of an interesting observation by Piani and Mora (Physic. Rev. A 75, 012305 (2007)), linking complete positivity of linear maps on matrix algebras to decomposability…

We present some properties of (not necessarily linear) positive maps between $C^*$-algebras. We first extend the notion of Lieb functions to that of Lieb positive maps between $C^*$-algebras. Then we give some basic properties and…

There are known three ways to construct the minimal dilation of the discrete semigroup generated by a normal unital completely positive map on a von Neumann algebra, which are given by Arveson, Bhat-Skeide and Muhly-Solel. In this paper, we…

Starting with a unit-preserving normal completely positive map L: M --> M acting on a von Neumann algebra - or more generally a dual operator system - we show that there is a unique reversible system \alpha: N --> N (i.e., a complete order…

We introduce a notion called `maximal commuting piece' for tuples of Hilbert space operators. Given a commuting tuple of operators forming a row contraction there are two commonly used dilations in multivariable operator theory. Firstly…

The theorem on the existence of three commuting contractions on a Hilbert space and of a linear homogeneous matrix function of three independent variables for which the generalized von Neumann inequality fails is proved.

We investigate certain classes of normal completely positive (CP) maps on the hyperfinite $II_1$ factor $\mathcal A$. Using the representation theory of a suitable irrational rotation algebra, we propose some computable invariants for such…

We define the graph product of unital completely positive maps on a universal graph product of unital C*-algebras and show that it is unital completely positive itself. To accomplish this, we introduce the notion of the non-commutative…

Given a ring $R$ with center $Z(R)$, we say a linear map $f:R\rightarrow R$ is commuting if $[f(x),x]=0$ for all $x\in R$. Such a map has a standard form if there exists $\lambda\in R$ and additive $\mu:R\rightarrow Z(R)$ such that…

We will consider completely positive maps defined on tensor products of von Neumann algebras and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space and particularly certain convex subsets of the set of such maps. We show…

Commuting maps on a class of algebras called inflated algebras are investigated. In particular, we can prove that every commuting map $\theta$ on such an algebra is of the form $\theta(x)=c x+\mu(x)$, where $c$ belongs to the base field $K$…

Let $\varphi$ be a normal semi-finite faithful weight on a von Neumann algebra $A$,let $(\sigma^\varphi_r)_{r\in{\mathbb R}}$ denote the modular automorphism group of $\varphi$, and let $T\colon A\to A$ be a linear map. We say that $T$…

We study several classes of general non-linear positive maps between C*-algebras, which are not necessary completely positive maps. We characterize the class of the compositions of *-multiplicative maps and positive linear mapsas the class…

Let $N_n(F)$ denote the ring of strictly upper triangular matrices with entries in a field $F$ of characteristic zero and center $Z(N_n(F))$. We characterize the $2$-power commuting maps over $N_n(F)$, maps satisfying the identity…

A state-preserving automorphism of a von Neumann algebra induces a canonical unitary operator on the GNS Hilbert space of the state which fixes the vacuum. This unitary commutes with both the modular operator of the state and its modular…

This article extends the theorem of the absence of wandering domains from unimodal maps to infinitely period-doubling renormalizable H\'enon-like maps in the strongly dissipative (area contracting) regime. The theorem solves an open problem…

We prove that a unital completely positive map between finite-dimensional C*-algebras is a homomorphism if and only if it is completely entropy-nonincreasing, where the relevant notion of entropy is a variant of von Neumann entropy. This…

For piecewise $C^1$ interval maps possibly containing critical points and discontinuities with negative Schwarzian derivative, under two summability conditions on the growth of the derivative and recurrence along critical orbits, we prove…

We give a class of examples of reducible (d-semistable) threefolds of CY type with two irreducible components for which (it is reasonably easy to prove that) no family of admissible genus zero stable maps sweeps out a surface, yet such…
