Abstract

Noncommutative Radon–Nikodým theorems have attracted a great deal of attention in the theory of operator algebras. There has been considerable work on non-commutative Radon–Nikodým theorems not only for C*-algebras but also for algebras of unbounded operators [3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13]. In this paper, we will develop a Radon–Nikodým type theorem for completely bounded and completely positive invariant multilinear maps.

The concept of matricial order has turned out to be very important to understand the infinite-dimensional non-commutative structure of operator algebras. As the natural ordering attached to this structure, completely positive maps and completely bounded maps have been studied extensively. Results concerning completely bounded maps have many applications: cohomology of operator algebras, multipliers on group algebras, dilation theory, similarity theory, free product representations, and abstract characterizations of operator algebras.
