Noncommutative Poisson boundaries of unital quantum operations. (English) Zbl 1310.81019
Summary: In this paper, Poisson boundaries of unital quantum operations (also called Markov operators) are investigated. In the case of unital quantum channels, compact operators belonging to Poisson boundaries are characterized. Using the characterization of amenable groups by the injectivity of their von Neumann algebras, we will answer negatively some conjectures appearing in the work of A. Arias et al. [ibid. 43, No. 12, 5872–5881 (2002; Zbl 1060.81009)] about injectivity of the commuting algebra of the Kraus operators of unital quantum operations and their injective envelopes.
