Generators of non-commutative dynamics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a fixed C*-algebra A, we consider all noncommutative dynamical systems that can be generated by A. More precisely, an A-dynamical system is a triple (i,B,alpha) where alpha is a *-endomorphism of a C*-algebra B, and i: A --> B is the inclusion of A as a C^*-subalgebra with the property that B is generated by Acupalpha(A)cupalpha2(A)cup.... There is a natural hierarchy in the class of A-dynamical systems, and there is a universal one that dominates all others, denoted (i,PA,alpha). We establish certain properties of (i,PA,alpha) and give applications to some concrete issues of noncommutative dynamics. For example, we show that every contractive completely positive linear map phi:AoA gives rise to to a unique A-dynamical system (i,B,alpha) that is "minimal" with respect to phi, and we show that its C*-algebra B can be embedded in the multiplier algebra of AotimesmathcalK.
