Numerical Range Inclusion, Dilation, and completely positive maps
Chi-Kwong Li, Yiu‐Tung Poon · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2019
A proof using the theory of completely positive maps is given to the fact that if $A \in M_2$, or $A \in M_3$ has a reducing eigenvalue, then every bounded linear operator $B$ with $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ has a dilation of the form $I \otimes A$. This gives a unified treatment for the different cases of the result obtained by researchers using different techniques.
