41.10 Arveson’s Extension Theorem

Lemma 41.10.1.label Let $E, F$ be locally convex spaces of $K \in \RC$, $B \subset L(E; F^{*})$ be equicontinuous, then the following two topologies on $B$ coincide:

  1. (1)

    The weak* topology under the identification $L(E; F^{*}) = (E \wh \otimes_{\pi} F)^{*}$.

  2. (2)

    The topology of pointwise convergence on $\bracsn{e \otimes f|e \in E, f \in F}$.

Proof. As $B$ is equicontinuous, the Arzelà-Ascoli Theorem implies that the weak* topology coincides with the topology of pointwise convergence on any dense subset. By linearity, the topology of pointwise convergence on $\bracsn{e \otimes f|e \in E, f \in F}$ coincides with the topology of pointwise convergence on $E \otimes F$. As $E \otimes F$ is dense $E \wh \otimes_{\pi} F$, the topology of pointwise convergence on $E \otimes F$ coincides with the topology of pointwise convergence on $\bracsn{e \otimes f|e \in E, f \in F}$.$\square$

Definition 41.10.2 (Point-Weak* Topology).label Let $E$ be a Banach space and $H$ be a Hilbert space. Identify

\[L(S; B(H)) = L(S; (H \otimes_{\pi} H)^{*}) = [S \otimes_{\pi} (H \otimes_{\pi} H)]^{*}\]

then the weak* topology on $L(E; B(H))$ induced by $S \otimes_{\pi} (H \otimes_{\pi} H)$ is the point-weak* topology/BW topology on $L(E; B(H))$.

Proposition 41.10.3.label Let $A$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra, $S \subset A$ be an operator system, and $H$ be a complex Hilbert space. Identify

\[L(S; B(H)) = L(S; (H \otimes_{\pi} H)^{*}) = [S \otimes_{\pi} (H \otimes_{\pi} H)]^{*}\]

Theorem 41.10.4 (Arveson’s Extension Theorem).label Let $A$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra, $S \subset A$ be an operator system, $H$ be a complex Hilbert space, and $\phi: S \to B(H)$ be a completely positive map, then $\phi$ admits a completely positive extension to $A$.

Proof. Let $\mathcal{F}\subset 2^{H}$ be the collection of all finite-dimensional subspaces of $H$, directed under inclusion.

Let $F \in \mathcal{F}$ and $P_{F} \in B(H)$ be the orthogonal projection onto $H$, then the corner $P_{F}B(H)P_{F}$ is isomorphic to $M_{|F|}(\complex)$. Let

\[\phi_{F}: S \to P_{F}B(H)P_{F} \quad \phi_{F}(a) = P_{F}\phi(a)P_{F}\]

be the compression of $\phi$ onto $F$, then $\phi_{F}$ is also completely positive by Proposition 41.4.3. By the Krein Extension Theorem, $\phi_{F}$ admits an extension to a completely positive map $\Phi_{F}: A \to P_{F}B(H)P_{F}$.

By Proposition 41.3.8, $\sup_{F \in \mathcal{F}}\norm{\Phi_F}_{L(A; B(H))}\le \norm{\phi}_{L(S; H)}$, so the family $\mathcal{E}= \bracsn{\phi_F|F \in \mathcal{F}}$ is equicontinuous. By the Banach-Alaoglu Theorem, it admits a point-weak* convergent subnet $\anglesn{\Phi_{F_\beta}}_{\beta \in B}$.

Let $\Phi = \text{\small BW}\text{-}\!\lim_{\beta \in B}\Phi_{F_\beta}$, then $\Phi$ is also completely positive, with

\[\Phi|_{A}= \text{\small BW}\text{-}\!\lim_{\beta \in B}\Phi_{F_\beta}|_{S}= \text{\small BW}\text{-}\!\lim_{\beta \in B}P_{F}\phi P_{F} = \phi\]
