Abstract

Quantum entanglement can be studied through the theory of completely positive maps in a number of ways, including by making use of the Choi-Jamilkowski isomorphism, which identifies separable states with entanglement breaking quantum channels, and optimal ensemble length with entanglement breaking rank. The multiplicative domain is an important operator structure in the theory of completely positive maps. We introduce a new technique to determine if a channel is entanglement breaking and to evaluate entanglement breaking rank, based on an analysis of multiplicative domains determined by complementary quantum channels. We give a full description of the class of entanglement breaking channels that have a projection as their Choi matrix, and we show the entanglement breaking and Choi ranks of such channels are equal.

Maximal Ergodic Theorems for Operators with Finite Peripheral Spectrum

Let $\mathcal M$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and $T : \mathcal{M} \to \mathcal{M}$ be a positive $L_\infty-L_1$ contraction in the sense of Junge-Xu, of which the numerical range, when viewed as an operator on $L_2(\mathcal M),$ is contained in a closed polygon with vertices on the unit circle. In this article, we prove that there exists a positive constant $C_p(T)$ such that \begin{equation}\label{abstract1stin} \Big\|\sup_{n \ge 0}\!^{+} T^n x \Big\|_p \le C_p(T)\, \|x\|_p \end{equation} for all \( x \in L_p(\mathcal{M}) \), $1<p<\infty$ extending some noncommutative maximal ergodic inequalities proved by Junge-Xu \cite{junge-Xu} and later generalized by Bekjan \cite{Bekjan2008}. In the commutative setting, similar inequalities as in \eqref{abstract1stin} hold for arbitrary $L_\infty-L_1$ contractions with the same condition in the numerical range, yielding a vast generalization of a classical maximal ergodic theorem of Stein \cite{Stein-ergodic-theorem} proved in 1960s. Moreover, we establish a noncommutative weak-type maximal inequality for convolution powers which was proved by Calderón and Bellow \cite{Bellow-Calderon} in the classical setting, complementing our strong type noncommutative maximal ergodic inequalities. Our method relies on several new polynomial identities, suitable square function estimates tailored to fit our setting and generalization of Stein's method of embedding maximal function into analytic family of operators. However, we show that even in the classical setting, the variational inequality extending \eqref{abstract1stin} holds for arbitrary operators described above, precisely when the spectrum meets the unit circle only at $1.$

Group actions on von Neumann algebras with compact open subgroups

We study strictly outer actions of locally compact groups with a compact open subgroup on von Neumann factors. For amenable groups, we prove 2-cohomology vanishing and obtain classification results using a description of the central sequence algebra and Rohlin-type observations. We also characterize the inclusions of factors associated with group actions, and extend M. Choda's result to this locally compact setting.

Covariant representations of actions of inverse semigroups: a new approach to the reduced and essential crossed-product C*-algebras

We consider an action of an inverse semigroup on a C*-algebra $A$ and use it to construct a groupoid of germs with unit space the spectrum of $A$. Motivated by the representation theory of C*-algebras of groupoids, we construct a concrete family of covariant representations for the action. We use this family to give new definitions of the reduced and essential crossed product C*-algebras that avoid, respectively, passing to the double commutant and local multiplier algebra of $A$. Our reduced crossed product is isomorphic to the one defined by Exel, Buss and Meyer, and when the inverse semigroup is quasi-countable our essential crossed product is isomorphic to the one defined by Kwaśniewski and Meyer.
