Review text

Let \({\mathcal L}\) denote the formal generator of a minimal quantum dynamical semigroup \((P_t)\) over (the bounded operators on) a separable complex Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\). If the completely positive part \(\Phi\) of \({\mathcal L}\) is a bounded sesquilinear form on a dense, continuously embedded subspace \({\mathcal K}\) of \({\mathcal H}\) and under a further technical (extendability) assumption, the authors are able to extend \(\Phi\) and, subsequently, the generator \({\mathcal L}\) and the semigroup \(P_t\) to the bounded operators on \({\mathcal K}\). Under the above assumptions, an a priori estimate for the extension \(\widetilde P_t\) is proved and used to give a sufficient condition for the conservativeness of the original quantum dynamical semigroup \((P_t)\). The present paper complements results in the same direction obtained by \textit{A. M. Chebotarev} and \textit{E. Fagnola} [J. Funct. Anal. 153, No. 2, 382-402 (1998; Zbl 0914.47040)].
