Abstract

We show that operators on n × n matrices which are representable in the form T(X) = [sum ][lscr ]i=1aiXbi (where ai and bi are n × n matrices) and are k-positive for k = [√[lscr ]] must be completely positive. As a consequence, elementary operators on a C*-algebra with minimal length [lscr ] which are k-positive for k = [√[lscr ]] must be completely positive.
