Abstract: The reduced dynamics of the system $S$, interacting with the environment $E$, is not given by a linear map, in general. However, if it is given by a linear map, then this map is also Hermitian. In order that the reduced dynamics of the system is given by a linear Hermitian map, there must be some restrictions on the set of possible initial states of the system-environment or on the possible unitary evolutions of the whole $SE$. In this paper, adding an ancillary reference space $R$, we assign to each convex set of possible initial states of the system-environment $mathcalS$, for which the reduced dynamics is Hermitian, a tripartite state $omeg{a}_{RSE}$, which we call it the reference state, such that the set $mathcalS$ is given as the steered states from the reference state $omeg{a}_{RSE}$,. The set of possible initial states of the system is also given as the steered set from a bipartite reference state $omeg{a}_{RS}$. The relation between these two reference states is as $omeg{a}_{RSE}=i{d}_{R}otimesLambd{a}_S(omeg{a}_{RS})$, where $i{d}_R$ is the identity map on $R$ and $Lambd{a}_S$ is a Hermitian assignment map, from $S$ to $SE$. As an important consequence of introducing the reference state $omeg{a}_{RSE}$, we generalize the result of [F. Buscemi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 140502 (2014)]: We show that, for a $U$-consistent subspace, the reduced dynamics of the system is completely positive, for arbitrary unitary evolution of the whole system-environment $U$, if and only if the reference state $omeg{a}_{RSE}$ is a Markov state. In addition, we show that the evolution of the set of system-environment (system) states is determined by the evolution of the reference state $omeg{a}_{RSE}$ ($omeg{a}_{RS}$).
