Construction of exposed indecomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras
Kil-Chan Ha, Seung-Hyeok Kye · Linear and Multilinear Algebra · 2016
We construct a large class of indecomposable positive linear maps from the matrix algebra into the matrix algebra, which generate exposed extreme rays of the convex cone of all positive maps. We show that extreme points of the dual faces for separable states arising from these maps are parametrized by the Riemann sphere, and the convex hulls of the extreme points arising from a circle parallel to the equator have exactly the same properties with the convex hull of the trigonometric moment curve studied from combinatorial topology. Any interior points of the dual faces are boundary separable states with full ranks. We exhibit concrete examples of such states.
