The Operator System Generated by Cuntz Isometries
arXiv:1410.6950
Abstract
In this paper we consider the operator system $\cl{S}_n$ generated by $n$ Cuntz isometries, i.e. the span of the generators of the Cuntz algebra $\cl{O}_n$ together with their adjoints and the identity. We define an operator subsystem $\cl{E}_n\subseteq M_{n+1}$ and then prove that $\cl{S}_n$ is completely order isomorphic to a quotient of $\cl{E}_n$. This result implies a characterization of positive elements in $M_p(\cl{S}_n)$.
