\begin{definition}[Module Map]
\label{definition:module-map}
Let $A, B, C$ be $C^*$-algebras with $C \subset A, B$ and $1_A = 1_B = 1_C$, then $A$ and $B$ are $C$-bimodules with respect to multiplication.
Let $\phi: A \to B$ be a linear map, then $\phi$ is a \textbf{$C$-bimodule map} if $\phi(c_1ac_2) = c_1\phi(a)c_2$ for all $a \in A$ and $c_1, c_2 \in C$.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}
\label{theorem:completely-positive-bimodule}
Let $A, B$ be unital $C^*$-algebras, $\phi: A \to B$ be a unital completely positive map, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item For any $a \in A$, $\phi(a)^*\phi(a) = \phi(a^*a)$ if and only if $\phi(ba) = \phi(b)\phi(a)$ for all $b \in A$. The space $R = \bracsn{a \in A|\phi(a)^*\phi(a) = \phi(a^*a)}$ is a subalgebra of $A$, and $\phi|_R$ is a homomorphism.
\item For any $a \in A$, $\phi(a)\phi(a)^* = \phi(aa^*)$ if and only if $\phi(ab) = \phi(a)\phi(b)$ for all $b \in A$. The space $L = \bracsn{a \in A| \phi(a)\phi(a)^* = \phi(aa^*)}$ is a subalgebra of $A$, and $\phi|_L$ is a homomorphism.
\item $L \cap R$ is a $C^*$-subalgebra of $A$, and $\phi|_{L \cap R}$ is a *-homomorphism.
\end{enumerate}
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
(1, $\Leftarrow$): Suppose that $\phi(ba) = \phi(b)\phi(a)$ for all $b \in A$, then $\phi(a^*) = \phi(a)^*\phi(a)$ after plugging in $b = a^*$.
(1, $\Rightarrow$): Suppose that $\phi(a^*a) = \phi(a)^*\phi(a)$. By the \hyperref[Kadison-Schwarz inequality]{proposition:cauchy-schwarz-2-positive},
\begin{align*}
\phi_2\begin{bmatrix}
a & b^* \\
0 & 0
\end{bmatrix}^*\phi_2\begin{bmatrix}
a & b^* \\
0 & 0
\end{bmatrix} \le \phi_2\begin{bmatrix}
a^*a & a^*b^* \\
ba & bb^*
\end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}
so
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
\phi(a^*)\phi(a) & \phi(a^*)\phi(b) \\
\phi(b)\phi(a) & \phi(b)\phi(b^*)
\end{bmatrix} \le
\begin{bmatrix}
\phi(a^*a) & \phi(a^*b) \\
\phi(ba) & \phi(bb^*)
\end{bmatrix}
\]
and
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & \phi(a^*b^*) - \phi(a^*)\phi(b) \\
\phi(b)\phi(a) - \phi(ba) & \phi(b)\phi(b^*) - \phi(bb^*)
\end{bmatrix} \ge 0
\]
Since the top left entry is zero, $\phi(b)\phi(a) - \phi(ba) = 0$.

\section{Multiplicative Domains}
\label{section:completely-positive-multiplicative-domain}
\begin{definition}[Module Map]
\label{definition:module-map}
Let $A, B, C$ be $C^*$-algebras with $C \subset A, B$ and $1_A = 1_B = 1_C$, then $A$ and $B$ are $C$-bimodules with respect to multiplication.
Let $\phi: A \to B$ be a linear map, then $\phi$ is a \textbf{$C$-bimodule map} if $\phi(c_1ac_2) = c_1\phi(a)c_2$ for all $a \in A$ and $c_1, c_2 \in C$.
\end{definition}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:matrix-positive-topleft-corner-zero}
Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $x, y \in A$, then
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & x \\
x^* & y
\end{bmatrix} \ge 0
\]
if and only if $x = 0$ and $y \ge 0$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
($\Rightarrow$): Using the \hyperref[Gelfand-Naimark Theorem]{theorem:gns}, assume without loss of generality that there exists a complex Hilbert space $H$ such that $A \subset B(H)$ is a $C^*$-subalgebra. In which case, for any $\xi, \eta \in H$,
\begin{align*}
\angles{\begin{bmatrix}
0 & x \\
x^* & y
\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}
\xi \\ \eta
\end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix}
\xi \\ \eta
\end{bmatrix}}_{H^2} &= \angles{\begin{bmatrix}
x\eta \\ x^*\xi + y\eta
\end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix}
\xi \\ \eta
\end{bmatrix}}_{H^2} \\
&= \dpn{x^*\xi, \eta}{H} + \dpn{x\eta, \xi}{H} + \dpn{y\eta, \eta}{H} \\
&= 2\text{Re}(\dpn{x^*\eta, \xi}{H}) + \dpn{y\eta, \eta}{H}
\end{align*}
If $x \ne 0$, then there exists $\xi_0, \eta_0 \in H$ such that $\dpn{x^*\eta_0, \xi_0}{H}\ne 0$. Therefore
\[
\inf_{\xi \in H}\text{Re}(\dpn{x^*\eta_0, \xi}{H}) = -\infty
\]
and the given matrix is not positive.
\end{proof}
\begin{definition}[Multiplicative Domains]
\label{definition:positive-multiplicative-domains}
Let $A, B$ be unital $C^*$-algebras and $\phi: A \to B$ be a unital\footnote{For without this assumption the domains will not be populated.} $4$-positive map, then
\begin{enumerate}
\item For any $a \in A$, $\phi(a)^*\phi(a) = \phi(a^*a)$ if and only if $\phi(ba) = \phi(b)\phi(a)$ for all $b \in A$. The space
\[
R = \bracsn{a \in A|\phi(a)^*\phi(a) = \phi(a^*a)}
\]
is a subalgebra of $A$, and $\phi|_R$ is a homomorphism.
\item For any $a \in A$, $\phi(a)\phi(a)^* = \phi(aa^*)$ if and only if $\phi(ab) = \phi(a)\phi(b)$ for all $b \in A$. The space
\[
L = \bracsn{a \in A| \phi(a)\phi(a)^* = \phi(aa^*)}
\]
is a subalgebra of $A$, and $\phi|_L$ is a homomorphism.
\item $C = L \cap R$ is a $C^*$-subalgebra of $A$ with $1_C = 1_A$, and $\phi|_{C}$ is a unital *-homomorphism.
\end{enumerate}
The spaces $R$ and $L$ are the \textbf{right} and \textbf{left} \textbf{multiplicative domains} of $\phi$, respectively. The $C^*$-subalgebra $C$ is the \textbf{multiplicative domain} of $\phi$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proof}[Proof, {{\cite[Theorem 3.18]{Paulsen}}}. ]
(1, $\Leftarrow$): Suppose that $\phi(ba) = \phi(b)\phi(a)$ for all $b \in A$, then $\phi(a^*) = \phi(a)^*\phi(a)$ after plugging in $b = a^*$.
(1, $\Rightarrow$): Suppose that $\phi(a^*a) = \phi(a)^*\phi(a)$. By the \hyperref[Kadison-Schwarz inequality]{proposition:cauchy-schwarz-2-positive},
\begin{align*}
\phi_2\begin{bmatrix}
a & b^* \\
0 & 0
\end{bmatrix}^*\phi_2\begin{bmatrix}
a & b^* \\
0 & 0
\end{bmatrix} &\le \phi_2\begin{bmatrix}
a^*a & a^*b^* \\
ba & bb^*
\end{bmatrix} \\
\begin{bmatrix}
\phi(a^*)\phi(a) & \phi(a^*)\phi(b) \\
\phi(b)\phi(a) & \phi(b)\phi(b^*)
\end{bmatrix} &\le
\begin{bmatrix}
\phi(a^*a) & \phi(a^*b) \\
\phi(ba) & \phi(bb^*)
\end{bmatrix}
\end{align*}
so
\[
\begin{bmatrix}
0 & \phi(a^*b^*) - \phi(a^*)\phi(b) \\
\phi(b)\phi(a) - \phi(ba) & \phi(b)\phi(b^*) - \phi(bb^*)
\end{bmatrix} \ge 0
\]
By \autoref{lemma:matrix-positive-topleft-corner-zero}, $\phi(b)\phi(a) - \phi(ba) = 0$.
\end{proof}
