Abstract:
This note contains a simple proof of the following theorem of Arveson: If $\mathcal {A}$ is an irreducible subspace of $\mathcal {B}(H)$, then the identity map ${\phi _0}(A) = A$ on $\mathcal {A}$ has a unique completely positive extension to $\mathcal {B}(H)$ if and only if the quotient map $q$ by the compact operators is not completely isometric on $\mathcal {S} = [\mathcal {A} + \mathcal {A}^*]$.References
