Abstract: We study relations between non-commutative Ruelle transfer operators over the C${}^{\ast }$-algebra $B(mathcalH)$ of linear bounded operators over separable Hilbert spaces $mathcalH$ (infinite-dimensional) and other completely positive maps. Transfer operators possess a simple description in terms of the so called non-commutative Radon-Nikodym derivatives. We describe the problem of existence of a largest positive eigenvalue associated to a positive eigenfunction and uniform convergence of sequences of iterates of transfer operators over $B(mathcalH)$. Part of the proof related to the Ruelle-Perron-Frobenius theorem is obtained by adapting results from quantum spin chain analysis.
