Purity of the Embeddings of Operator Systems into their C$^*$- and Injective Envelopes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We study the issue of issue of purity (as a completely positive linear map) for identity maps on operators systems and for their completely isometric embeddings into their C$^*$-envelopes and injective envelopes. Our most general result states that the canonical embedding of an operator system $\mathcal R$ into its injective envelope $\mathcal I(\mathcal R)$ is pure if and only if the C$^*$-envelope of $\mathcal R$ is a prime C$^*$-algebra. To prove this, we also show that the identity map on any AW$^*$-factor is a pure completely positive linear map. For embeddings of operator systems into their C$^*$-envelopes, the issue of purity is seemingly harder to describe in full generality, and so we focus here on operator systems arising from the generators of discrete groups. The question of purity of the identity is quite subtle for operator system that are not C$^*$-algebras, and we have results only for two universal operator systems arising from discrete groups. Lastly, a previously unrecorded feature of pure completely positive linear maps is presented: every pure completely positive linear map on an operator system $\mathcal R$ into an injective von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ has a pure completely positive extension to any operator system $\mathcal T$ that contains $\mathcal R$ as an operator subsystem, thereby generalising a result of Arveson for the injective type I factor $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
