Operational extreme points and Cuntz's canonical endomorphism

Based on the fact that the Cuntz algebra $O_n$ is generated by the operators consisting of a finite operatorional partition, we study the notion of operational extreme points (which we introduce here) by using several completely positive maps on $O_n$. As a typical example, we show that the Cuntz's canonical endomorphism $Phi_n$ is an operational extreme point in the set of completely positive maps on $O_n$ and that it induces a completely positive map which is extreme but not operational extreme, etc.

Operational extreme points of unital completely positive maps

Two notions for linear maps (operational convex combinations and operational exetreme points) are introduced. The set S of ucp maps on the n times n matrix algebra is the operational convex combinations of the identity map. An operational extreme point of S is an extreme point of S but the converse does not hold, and every automorphism is an operational extreme point of S.

Around Shannon's Interpretation for Entropy-preserving Stochastic Averages

We give various characterizations for a positive unital Tr-preserving map on a matrix algebra to preserve the von Neumann entropy of a state. Among others, it is given by that the map behaves as a *-automorphism. This is also equivalent to that the entropy of the stochastic matrix arising from the map and the state is zero.

von Neumann entropy and relative position between subalgebras

We give a numerical characterization of mutual orthogonality (that is, complementarity) for subalgebras. In order to give such a characterization for mutually orthogonal subalgebras $A$ and $B$ of the $k \times k$ matrix algebra $M_k(\mathbb{C})$, where $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic to some $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ $(n \leq k)$, we consider a density matrix which is induced from the pair $\{A, B\}$. We show that $A$ and $B$ are mutually orthogonal if and only if the von Neumann entropy of the density matrix is the maximum value $2\log n$, which is the logarithm of the dimension of the subfactors.

Conjugate Pairs of Subfactors and Entropy for Automorphisms

Based on the fact that, for a subfactor $N$ of a II$_1$ factor $M,$ the first non-trivial Jones index is 2 and then $M$ is decomposed as the crossed product of $N$ by an outer action of ${\mathbb{Z}}_2,$ we study pairs $ \{N, uNu^* \}$ from a view point of entropy for two subalgebras of $M$ with a connection to the entropy for automorphisms, where the inclusion of II$_1$ factors $ N \subset M$ is given as $M$ is the crossed product of $N$ by a finite group of outer automorphisms and $u$ is a unitary in $M.$

Relative entropy for maximal abelian subalgebras of matrices and the entropy of unistochastic matrices

Let $A$ and $B$ be two maximal abelian *-subalgebras of the $n\times n$ complex matrices $M_n(\mathbb{C}).$ To study the movement of the inner automorphisms of $M_n(\mathbb{C}),$ we modify the Connes-St$ø$rmer relative entropy $H(A | B)$ and the Connes relative entropy $H_ϕ(A | B)$ with respect to a state $ϕ,$ and introduce the two kinds of the constant $h(A | B)$ and $h_ϕ(A | B).$ For the unistochastic matrix $b(u)$ defined by a unitary $u$ with $B = uAu^*,$ we show that $h(A | B)$ is the entropy $H(b(u))$ of $b(u).$ This is obtained by our computation of $h_ϕ(A | B).$ The $h(A | B)$ attains to the maximal value $\log n$ if and only if the pair $\{A, B\}$ is orthogonal in the sense of Popa.
