A matrix convex set is a set of the form $mathcal{S} = cup_{ngeq 1}mathcal{S}_n$ (where each $mathcal{S}_n$ is a set of $d$-tuples of $n times n$ matrices) that is invariant under UCP maps from $M_n$ to $M_k$ and under formation of direct sums. We study the geometry of matrix convex sets and their relationship to completely positive maps and dilation theory. Key ingredients in our approach are polar duality in the sense of Effros and Winkler, matrix ranges in the sense of Arveson, and concrete constructions of scaled commuting normal dilation for tuples of self-adjoint operators, in the sense of Helton, Klep, McCullough and Schweighofer. Given two matrix convex sets $mathcal{S} = cup_{n geq 1} mathcal{S}_n,$ and $mathcal{T} = cup_{n geq 1} mathcal{T}_n$, we find geometric conditions on $mathcal{S}$ or on $mathcal{T}$, such that $mathcal{S}_1 subseteq mathcal{T}_1$ implies that $mathcal{S} subseteq Cmathcal{S}$ for some constant $C$. For instance, under various symmetry conditions on $mathcal{S}$, we can show that $C$ above can be chosen to equal $d$, the number of variables, and in some cases this is sharp. We also find an essentially unique self-dual matrix convex set $mathcal{D}$, the self-dual matrix ball, for which corresponding inclusion and dilation results hold with constant $C=sqrt{d}$. Our results have immediate implications to spectrahedral inclusion problems studied recently by Helton, Klep, McCullough and Schweighofer. Our constants do not depend on the ranks of the pencils determining the free spectrahedra in question, but rather on the number of variables $d$. There are also implications to the problem of existence of (unital) completely positive maps with prescribed values on a set of operators.
D. Bures had defined a metric on the set of normal states on a von Neumann algebra using GNS representations of states. This notion has been extended to completely positive maps between $C^*$-algebras by D. Kretschmann, D. Schlingemann and R. F. Wern
We provide a description of certain invariance properties of completely bounded bimodule maps in terms of their symbols. If $mathbb{G}$ is a locally compact quantum group, we characterise the completely bounded $L^{infty}(mathbb{G})$-bimodule maps th
Evenly convex sets in a topological vector space are defined as the intersection of a family of open half spaces. We introduce a generalization of this concept in the conditional framework and provide a generalized version of the bipolar theorem. Thi
Let $q = e^{i theta} in mathbb{T}$ (where $theta in mathbb{R}$), and let $u,v$ be $q$-commuting unitaries, i.e., $u$ and $v$ are unitaries such that $vu = quv$. In this paper we find the optimal constant $c = c_theta$ such that $u,v$ can be dilated t
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 CP maps.
