The asymptotic lift of a completely positive map

Abstract: 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 automorphism alpha of a dual operator system N) that captures all of the asymptotic behavior of L, called the {em asymptotic lift} of L. This provides a noncommutative generalization of the Frobenius theorems that describe the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of powers of a stochastic n x n matrix. In cases where M is a von Neumann algebra, the asymptotic lift is shown to be a W*-dynamical system (N,mathbb Z), whick we identify as the tail flow of the minimal dilation of L. We are also able to identify the Poisson boundary of L as the fixed point algebra of (N,mathbb Z). In general, we show the action of the asymptotic lift is trivial iff L is {em slowly oscillating} in the sense that

lim_{n oinfty}| hocirc L^{n+1}- hocirc L^n|=0,qquad hoin M_* .

Hence alpha is often a nontrivial automorphism of N.
