Structure of block quantum dynamical semigroups and their product systems

Abstract: W. Paschke's version of Stinespring's theorem associates a Hilbert

C^{*}

-module along with a generating vector to every completely positive map. Building on this, to every quantum dynamical semigroup (QDS) on a

C^{*}

-algebra

m a t h c a l A

one may associate an inclusion system

E = (E_{t})

of Hilbert

m a t h c a l A

-

m a t h c a l A

-modules with a generating unit

x i = (x i_{t})

. Suppose

m a t h c a l B

is a von Neumann algebra, consider

M_{2} (m a t h c a l B)

, the von Neumann algebra of

2 i m e s 2

matrices with entries from

m a t h c a l B

. Suppose

(P h i_{t})_{t g e 0}

with

is a QDS on

M_{2} (B)

which acts block-wise and let

(E_{t}^{i})_{t g e 0}

be the inclusion system associated to the diagonal QDS

(p h i_{t}^{i})_{t g e 0}

with the generating unit

(x i_{t}^{i})_{t g e 0}, i = 1, 2.

It is shown that there is a contractive (bilinear) morphism

T = (T_{t})_{t g e 0}

from

(E_{t}^{2})_{t g e 0}

to

(E_{t}^{1})_{t g e 0}

such that

p s i_{t} (a) = l a n g l e x i_{t}^{1}, T_{t} a x i_{t}^{2} a n g l e

for all

a i n m a t h c a l B .

We also prove that any contractive morphism between inclusion systems of von Neumann

m a t h c a l B

-

m a t h c a l B

-modules can be lifted as a morphism between the product systems generated by them. We observe that the

E_{0}

-dilation of a block quantum Markov semigroup (QMS) on a unital

C^{*}

-algebra is again a semigroup of block maps.
