It is shown that a positive linear map of a C*-algebra A into B(H) is decomposable if and only if for all n G N whenever (x,j) and (*,,) belong to M„(A)+ then (<¡>(*,7)) belongs to M„(B(H))+ . A positive linear map <b of a C*-algebra A into B(H)—the bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H— is said to be decomposable if there are a Hilbert space K, a bounded linear operator v of H into K, and a Jordan homomorphism it of A into B(K) such that <l>(x) = v*ir(x)v for all x G A. Such maps have been studied in [2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9], and are the natural symmetrization of the completely positive ones, defined as those <b as above with m a homomorphism. If Mn(B) denotes the n X n matrices over a subspace £ of a C*-algebra and Mn(B)+ the positive part of Mn(B), the celebrated Stinespring theorem [4] states that a map <j>: A -> B(H) is completely positive if and only if for all n G N whenever (x¡¡) G Mn(A)+ then («H*,,)) G Mn(B(H))+. It is the purpose of the present note to provide an analogous characterization of decomposable maps. Theorem. Let A be a C*-algebra and <b a linear map of A into B(H). Then <¡> is decomposable if and only if for all n G N whenever (x,¡) and (Xj¡) belong to Mn(A)+ then (<t>(XlJ)) G Mn(B(H))+ . Proof. Suppose <j> is decomposable, so of the form v*rrv. If n is a homomorphism (resp. antihomomorphism) and (xi}) (resp. (xj¡)) belongs to Mn(A)+ then (<H*,,)) G Mn(B(H))+ . Since every Jordan homomorphism is the sum of a homomorphism and an antihomomorphism [6], if both (x¡¡) and (x„) belong to Mn(A)+ then (*(*„)) G Mn(B(H))+. Conversely suppose (x¡ ) and (xjt) G Mn(A)+ implies («K-*//)) e Mn(B(H))+ for all n G N. Since this property persists when <p is extended to the second dual of A we may assume A is unital and that A C B(L) for some Hilbert space L. Let t denote the transpose map on B(L) with respect to some orthonormal basis. Let Then Kis a self adjoint subspace of M2(B(L)) containing the identity. Define 0n on Mn(B(L)) by 8n((Xjj)) = (xj,). Then 6 is an antiautomorphism of order 2. Hence if Received by the editors September 25, 1981 and, in revised form, December 4, 1981. 1980 Mathematics Subject Classification.
