A Note on Positivity of Elementary Operators

General theory of (C^*)-algebras (46L05) Commutators, derivations, elementary operators, etc. (47B47) Positive linear operators and order-bounded operators (47B65)

Review text

We show that operators on \(n\times n\) matrices which are representable in the form \(T(X)= \sum^\ell_{i=1} a_iXb_i\) (for \(a_i\) and \(b_i\), \(n\times n\) matrices) and are \(k\)-positive for \(k=[\sqrt{\ell}]\) must be completely positive. As a consequence, elementary operators on a \(C^*\)-algebra with minimal length \(\ell\) which are \(k\)-positive for \(k=[\sqrt{\ell}]\) must be completely positive. This improves results of \textit{J. Li} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 127, 235-239 (1999; Zbl 0906.47026)] and \textit{M. Mathieu} [Bull. London Math. Soc. 30, 603-610 (1998; Zbl 0980.39189)].
