A class of optimal positive maps in $M_n$

Abstract

It is proven that a certain class of positive maps in the matrix algebra $M_n$ consists of optimal maps, i.e. maps from which one cannot subtract any completely positive map without loosing positivity. This class provides a generalization of a seminal Choi positive map in $M_3$.
