Extreme points of unital completely positive maps invariant under partial action

Abstract

The classical Choquet theorem establishes a barycentric decomposition for elements in a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological vector space. This decomposition is achieved through a probability measure that is supported on the set of extreme points of the subset. In this work, we consider a partial action $\tau$ of a group $G$ on a $C^\ast$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$. For a fixed Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we consider the set of all unital completely positive maps from $\mathcal{A}$ to $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ that are invariant under the partial action $\tau$. This set forms a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological vector space. To complete the picture of the barycentric decomposition provided by the classical Choquet theorem, we characterize the set of extreme points of this set.
