\begin{definition}[Minimal Point]
\label{definition:tds-minimal-point}
Let $G \curvearrowright X$ be a $G$-flow and $x \in X$, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $G \curvearrowright \ol{Gx}$ is a minimal $G$-subflow.
\item $x$ is uniformly recurrent.
\end{enumerate}
\end{definition}
\begin{proof}
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): See \autoref{definition:tds-minimal}.
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): Let $Y = \ol{Gx}$ and $y \in Y$. For any $U \in \cn_X(x)$, since $X$ is a compact Hausdorff space, there exists $V \in \cn_X(x)$ with $\ol{V} \subset U$. As $N(x, V)$ is syndetic in $G$, there exists $F \subset G$ finite such that $G = F^{-1}N(x, V)$.
Since $\ol{Gx} = Y$, there exists a filter $\fF \subset 2^G$ such that $\fF x \to y$. As $G = \bigcup_{f \in F}N(x, V)$, there exists $f \in F$ such that $f^{-1}N(x, V) \in \fF$. Thus $y = \lim \fF x \subset \ol{f^{-1}N(x, V)} \subset \ol{f^{-1}V}$. Equivalently, $fy \in \ol{V}$, and $Gy \cap U \supset Gy \cao f^{-1}\ol{V} \ne \emptyset$. As this holds for all $U \in \cn_X(x)$, $x \in \ol{Gy}$, and $\ol{Gy} = \ol{Gx} = Y$. Therefore every point in $Y$ is transitive, and $G \curvearrowright Y$ is a minimal subflow.

\begin{definition}[$M_n(A)$]
\label{definition:matrix-cstar}
Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $M_n(A) = M_n(\complex) \otimes A$ be the space of $n \times n$ matrices over $A$, equipped with the product
\[
M_n(A) \times M_n(A) \quad (M \otimes a)(N \otimes b) = MN \otimes ab
\]
and the involution
\[
*: M_n(A) \to M_n(A) \quad M \otimes a \mapsto M^* \otimes a^*
\]
Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\pi: A \to B(H)$ be a faithful representation of $A$, then $\pi$ induces a faithful representation $M_n(A) \otimes A \to B(H^n)$. Under the identification that $M_n(A) \subset B(H^n)$, the inherited norm\footnote{Which is equal to the projective norm because $M_n(\complex)$ is finite-dimensional and hence nuclear.} makes $M_n(A)$ a $C^*$-algebra.

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $S \subset A$, then $S$ is an \textbf{operator system} if $S$ is a linear subspace of $A$ and $S = S^*$. Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $S \subset A$, then $S$ is a \textbf{concrete operator system} if:

\item $1_A \in S$.
\item $S = S^*$.
\item $S$ is a linear subspace of $A$.

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $S \subset A$ be an operator system, and $x \in S_{sa}$, then there exists positive elements $p, q \in S_{sa}$ such that $x = p - q$.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
Let $p = (\norm{x}_A + x)/2$ and $q = (\norm{x}_A - x)/2$, then $q$ is positive by \autoref{corollary:spectrum-characterisation-iff}.
\end{proof}
\begin{definition}[Positive]
\label{definition:operator-system-positive-map}
Let $A, B$ be $C^*$-algebra, $S \subset A$ and $T \subset B$ be operator systems, and $\phi: S \to T$ be a linear map, then $\phi$ is \textbf{positive} if $\phi(S_+) \subset \phi(T_+)$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:positive-automatic-continuity}
Let $A, B$ be $C^*$-algebra, $S \subset A$ and $T \subset B$ be operator systems, and $\phi: S \to T$ be a positive map, then
\[
\norm{\phi}_{L(S; T)} \le 2\norm{\phi(1_A)}_B
\]
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
Let $x \in T_+$, then $0 \le x \le \norm{x}_A$, and $0 \le \phi(x) \le \norm{x}_A \cdot \norm{\phi(1_A)}_B$, so $\norm{\phi(x)}_B \le \norm{x}_A \cdot \norm{\phi(1_A)}_B$.
For any $x, y \in T_+$, $x - y \le x$ and $y - x \le y$. As such,
\[
\norm{x - y}_{B} \le \norm{x}_B \vee \norm{y}_B
\]
In particular, for any $s \in S_{sa}$,
\begin{align*}
\phi(s) &= \frac{1}{2}\braks{\phi(\norm{s}_A + s) - \phi(\norm{s}_A - s)} \\
\norm{\phi(s)}_{B} &\le \frac{1}{2}\braks{\norm{\phi(\norm{s}_A + s)}_B \vee \norm{\phi(\norm{s}_A - s)}_B} \\
&\le \norm{s}_A \norm{\phi(1_A)}_B
\end{align*}
Finally, for any general $s \in S$,
\begin{align*}
\phi(s) &= \phi(\text{Re}(s)) + i\phi(\text{Im}(s)) \\
\norm{\phi(s)}_B &\le \norm{\phi(\text{Re}(s))}_B + \norm{\phi(\text{Im}(s))}_{B} \\
&\le \norm{\phi(1_A)}_B \cdot (\norm{\text{Re}(s)}_A + \norm{\text{Im}(s)}_A) \le 2\norm{\phi(1_A)}_B\norm{s}_A
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\begin{example}[Arveson]
\label{example:positive-automatic-continuity}
Let $\mathbb{T} = \bracsn{z \in \complex|\ |z| = 1}$, and $S = \text{span}\bracsn{1, z, \ol z} \subset C(\mathbb{T}; \complex)$, then $S$ is an operator system in $C(\mathbb{T} ; \complex)$. Let
\[
\phi: S \to M_2(\complex) \quad (a + bz + c\ol z) = \begin{bmatrix}
a & 2b \\
2c & a
\end{bmatrix}
\]
then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\phi$ is a positive map.
\item $\norm{\phi}_{L(C(\mathbb{T} ; \complex); M_2(\complex))} = 2$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{example}
\begin{proof}[Proof, {{\cite[Example 2.2]{Paulsen}}}. ]
(1): Let $a + bz + c \ol z \in S$, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $a + bz + c\ol z \ge 0$.
\item $c = \ol b$ and $a \ge 2\text{Re}(b)$.
\item $c = \ol b$ and $a \ge 2|b|$.
\end{enumerate}
In addition, since a $2 \times 2$ matrix is positive if and only if its diagonal entries and its determinant are non-negative. Thus $\phi$ is positive.
(2): $\norm{\phi(z)}_{M_2(\complex)} = 2$.
