Modules, completely positive maps, and a generalized KSGNS construction
arXiv:1007.3218 · doi:10.1007/s11117-010-0104-6
Abstract
A very general KSGNS type dilation theorem in the context of right (not necessarily Hilbert) modules over -algebras is presented. The proof uses Kolmogorov type decompositions for positive-definite kernels with values in spaces of sesquilinear maps. More specific functional analytic applications are obtained by adding assumptions.
