Abstract

Abstract A classical result by Effros connects the barycentric decomposition of a state on a C*-algebra to the disintegration theory of the GNS representation of the state with respect to an orthogonal measure on the state space of the C*-algebra. In this note, we take this approach to the space of unital completely positive maps on a C*-algebra with values in B ⁢ ( H ) {B(H)} , connecting the barycentric decomposition of the unital completely positive map and the disintegration theory of the minimal Stinespring dilation of the same. This generalizes Effros’ work in the non-commutative setting. We do this by introducing a special class of barycentric measures which we call generalized orthogonal measures. We end this note by mentioning some examples of generalized orthogonal measures.
