Convex hulls of unitary orbits of normal elements in $C^*$-algebras with tracial rank zero
Abstract
Let $A$ be a unital separable simple $C^*$-algebra with tracial rank zero and let $x, \, y\in A$ be two normal elements. We show that $x$ is in the closure of the convex full of the unitary obit of $y$ if and only if there exists a sequence of unital completely positive linear maps $\phi_n$ from $A$ to $A$ such that the sequence $\phi_n(y)$ convergent to $x$ in norm and also approximately preserves the trace values. A purely measure theoretical description for normal elements in the closure of convex hull of unitary orbit of $y$ is also given. In the case that $A$ has a unique tracial state some classical results about the closure of the convex hull of the unitary orbits in von Neumann algebras are proved to be hold in $C^*$-algebras setting.
