Representations of completely bounded multilinear operators

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

A definition of a completely bounded multilinear operator from one C*-algebra into another is introduced. Each completely bounded multilinear operator from a C*-algebra into the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space is shown to be representable in terms of *-representations of the C*-algebra and interlacing operators. This result extends Wittstock's Theorem that decomposes a completely bounded linear operator from a C*-algebra into an injective C*-algebra into completely positive linear operators.
