\begin{definition}[Ordered Vector Space]
\label{definition:ordered-vector-space}
Let $E$ be a vector space over $\real$ and $\le$ be a partial order on $E$, then $(E, \le)$ is a \textbf{ordered vector space} if
\begin{enumerate}
\item[(LO1)] For any $x, y, z \in E$ with $x \le y$, $x + z \le y + z$.
\item[(LO2)] For any $x, y \in E$ and $\lambda > 0$, $x \le y$ implies that $\lambda x \le \lambda y$.
\end{enumerate}

\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:ordered-vector-space-properties}
Let $(E, \le)$ be an ordered vector space and $A, B \subset E$ such that $\sup(A)$ and $\sup (B)$ exist, then
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\sup(A + B) = \sup(A) + \sup(B)$.
\item $\sup(A) = -\inf (-A)$
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1): For any $a \in A$ and $b \in B$, $a + b \le \sup(A) + \sup(B)$ by (LO1). Let $c \in E$ such that $c \ge a + b$ for all $a \in A$ and $b \in B$, then $c \ge a + \sup(B)$ for all $a \in A$, so $c \ge \sup(A) + \sup(B)$. Therefore $\sup(A) + \sup(B) = \sup(A + B)$.
(2): For any $a \in A$, $\sup(A) \ge a = -(-a)$, so $-\sup(A) \le \inf(-A)$, and $\sup(A) \ge -\inf(-A)$. On the other hand, for any $a \in A$, $-\inf(-A) \ge a$. Therefore $\sup(A) \le -\inf(-A)$.

\section{Ordered Vector Spaces}
\label{section:ovs}
\begin{definition}[Ordered Vector Space]
\label{definition:ordered-vector-space}
Let $E$ be a vector space over $K \in \RC$ and $\le$ be a partial order on $E$, then $(E, \le)$ is a \textbf{ordered vector space} if
\begin{enumerate}
\item[(LO1)] For any $x, y, z \in E$ with $x \le y$, $x + z \le y + z$.
\item[(LO2)] For any $x, y \in E$ and $\lambda > 0$, $x \le y$ implies that $\lambda x \le \lambda y$.

Let $(E, \le)$ be an ordered vector space over $K \in \RC$, and $\topo$ be a vector space topology on $E$, then the triple $(E, \topo, \le)$ is an \textbf{ordered topological vector space} if the positive cone $C = \bracs{x \in E|x \ge 0}$ is closed.

\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:ordered-vector-space-properties}
Let $(E, \le)$ be an ordered vector space and $A, B \subset E$ such that $\sup(A)$ and $\sup (B)$ exist, then

\item $\sup(A + B) = \sup(A) + \sup(B)$.

(1): For any $a \in A$ and $b \in B$, $a + b \le \sup(A) + \sup(B)$ by (LO1). Let $c \in E$ such that $c \ge a + b$ for all $a \in A$ and $b \in B$, then $c \ge a + \sup(B)$ for all $a \in A$, so $c \ge \sup(A) + \sup(B)$. Therefore $\sup(A) + \sup(B) = \sup(A + B)$.
(2): For any $a \in A$, $\sup(A) \ge a = -(-a)$, so $-\sup(A) \le \inf(-A)$, and $\sup(A) \ge -\inf(-A)$. On the other hand, for any $a \in A$, $-\inf(-A) \ge a$. Therefore $\sup(A) \le -\inf(-A)$.

\section{The Order Dual}
\label{section:order-dual}
\begin{definition}[Order Bounded Dual]
\label{definition:order-bounded-dual}
Let $(E, \le)$ be an ordered vector space, then the space $E^b$ consisting of all linear functionals on $E$ that are bounded on order bounded sets is the \textbf{order bounded dual} of $E$.

Let $(E, \le)$ be an ordered vector space over $K \in \RC$ and $\Phi^+ \in \hom(E; K)$, then $\Phi^+$ is \textbf{positive} if for any $x \in E$ with $x \ge 0$, $\text{Re}\dpn{x, \Phi^+}{E} \ge 0$. The subspace $E^+ \subset \hom(E; K)$ generated by the positive linear functionals on $E$ is the \textbf{order dual} of $E$.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}[Bauer-Namioka]
\label{theorem:bauer-namioka}
Let $E$ be an ordered vector space over $K \in \RC$ with positive cone $C$, $\topo$ be a vector space topology on $E$\footnote{The order and the topology need not to be compatible. }, $F \subset E$ be a subspace, and $\phi \in (F, \topo)^*$, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item There exists a continuous positive linear functional $\Phi \in (E, \topo)^*$ such that $\Phi|_F = \phi$.
\item There exists $U \in \cn_\topo(0)$ convex such that
\[
\sup\bracs{\text{Re}\dpn{x, \phi}{F}|x \in F \cap (U - C)} < \infty
\]
\end{enumerate}
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}[Proof, {{\cite[V.5.4]{SchaeferWolff}}}. ]
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): Let $U = \bracs{\text{Re}(\Phi) < 1}$, then $U \in \cn_\topo(0)$ is convex. Since $\Phi$ is positive, for any $x \in U$ and $y \in C$, $\text{Re}\dpn{x - y, \Phi}{E} \le \text{Re}\dpn{x, \Phi}{E} < 1$.
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): Assume without loss of generality that $K = \real$. Let $\alpha > 0$ such that $F \cap (U - C) \subset \bracs{\phi < \alpha}$. Since $U$ is convex and open, and $C$ is convex, $U - C \subset E$ is an open convex set, disjoint from the convex set $\bracs{\phi = \alpha}$. By the \autoref[Hahn-Banach Theorem]{theorem:hahn-banach-geometric-1}, there exists $\Phi \in E^*$ such that $U - C \subset \bracs{\Phi < \alpha}$, and $\bracs{\phi = \alpha} \subset \bracs{\Phi \ge \alpha}$.
After rescaling, assume without loss of generality that $\bracs{\phi = \alpha} \subset \bracs{\Phi = \alpha}$, then $\Phi \in E^*$ is an extension of $\phi$. For each $x \in C$ and $\lambda > 0$, $-\lambda x \in U - C$, and $-\lambda\dpn{x, \Phi}{E} < \alpha$. As this holds for all $\lambda > 0$, $\dpn{x, \Phi}{E} \ge 0$, so $\Phi$ is the desired extension.

Let $E$ be a normed vector space over $\real$, then
\[ \[
\norm{\cdot}_{\complex(E)}: \complex(E) \to [0, \infty) \quad (x, y) \mapsto \sup_{\theta \in [0, 2\pi]}\norm{\cos(\theta)x + \sin(\theta)y}_E \norm{\cdot}_{\complex(E)}: \complex(E) \to [0, \infty) \quad (x, y) \mapsto \sup_{\theta \in [0, 2\pi]}\norm{\cos(\theta)x + \sin(\theta)y}_E
\] \]
then for any $\phi \in [0, 2\pi]$ and $x, y \in E$, is a norm on $\complex(E)$ such that the inclusion map $\iota: E \to \complex(E)$ is isometric.
Moreover, for any normed vector space $F$ over $\real$ and $T \in L(E; F)$, $\norm{\complex(T)}_{L(\complex(E); \complex(F))} = \norm{T}_{L(E; F)}$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proof}
For any $\phi \in [0, 2\pi]$ and $x, y \in E$,
\begin{align*} \begin{align*}
\normn{e^{i \phi}(x, y)}_{\complex(E)} &= \normn{(\cos(\phi)x - \sin(\phi)y, \sin(\phi)x + \cos(\phi)y)}_{\complex(E)} \\ \normn{e^{i \phi}(x, y)}_{\complex(E)} &= \normn{(\cos(\phi)x - \sin(\phi)y, \sin(\phi)x + \cos(\phi)y)}_{\complex(E)} \\
&= \sup_{\theta \in [0, 2\pi]}\norm{\cos(\theta - \phi)x + \sin(\theta - \phi)y}_E \\ &= \sup_{\theta \in [0, 2\pi]}\norm{\cos(\theta - \phi)x + \sin(\theta - \phi)y}_E \\
&= \norm{(x, y)}_{\complex(E)} &= \norm{(x, y)}_{\complex(E)}
\end{align*} \end{align*}
so $\norm{(x, y)}_{\complex(E)}$ is a norm. For any $x \in E$, so $\norm{\cdot}_{\complex(E)}$ is a norm on $\complex(E)$. For any $x \in E$,
\[ \[
\norm{\iota x}_{\complex(E)} = \sup_{\theta \in [0, 2\pi]}\norm{\cos(\theta)x}_E = \norm{x}_E \\ \norm{\iota x}_{\complex(E)} = \sup_{\theta \in [0, 2\pi]}\norm{\cos(\theta)x}_E = \norm{x}_E \\
\] \]
Therefore $\iota: E \to \complex(E)$ is isometric. Therefore $\iota: E \to \complex(E)$ is isometric.
(F): By (U) applied to $\iota \circ T$. Now, let $F$ be a normed vector space over $\real$ and $T \in L(E; F)$, then
\begin{align*}
\norm{\complex(T)}_{L(\complex(E); \complex(F))} &= \sup\bracsn{\norm{\complex(T)(x,y)}_{\complex(F)}|(x, y) \in \complex(E), \norm{(x, y)}_{\complex(E)} = 1} \\
&\ge \sup\bracsn{\norm{Tx}|x \in E, \norm{x}_E = 1} = \norm{T}_{L(E; F)}
\end{align*}
On the other hand, let $(x, y) \in \complex(E)$, then there exists $\theta \in [0, 2\pi]$ such that
\begin{align*}
\normn{\complex(T)(x, y)}_{\complex(F)} &= \normn{(Tx, Ty)}_{\complex(F)} = \norm{\cos(\theta)Tx + \sin(\theta)Ty}_F \\

&= \norm{T}_{L(E; F)} \cdot \norm{(x, y)}_E

\label{proposition:hermitian-functional-norm}
Let $E$ be a normed vector space over $\complex$, $*: E \to E$ be a complex conjugation map such that $\norm{x}_E = \normn{x^*}_E$ for all $x \in E$, and $\phi \in E^*$ be a Hermitian functional, then
\[
\norm{\phi}_{E^*} = \sup\bracsn{\dpn{x, \phi}{E}|x \in E, x = x^*, \norm{x}_E = 1}
\]
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
Since $\bracsn{x \in E|x = x^*} \subset E$, $\norm{\phi}_{E^*} \ge \sup\bracsn{\dpn{x, \phi}{E}|x \in E, x = x^*, \norm{x}_E = 1}$.
On the other hand, let $x \in E$ with $\norm{x}_E = 1$. Assume without loss of generality that $\dpn{x, \phi}{E} \in \real$, then
\begin{align*}
\dpn{x, \phi}{E} &= \dpn{\text{Re}(x), \phi}{E} + \underbrace{i\dpn{\text{Im}(x), \phi}{E}}_{\in \real} =
\dpn{\text{Re}(x), \phi}{E} \\
&\le \norm{\text{Re}(x)}_E \cdot \sup\bracsn{\dpn{y, \phi}{E}|y \in E, y = y^*, \norm{y}_E = 1}

where $\norm{\text{Re}(x)}_E = \norm{{(x + x^*)}/{2}}_E \le \norm{x}_E$. As the above holds for all $x \in E$,
\[
\norm{\phi}_{E^*} \le \sup\bracsn{\dpn{x, \phi}{E}|x \in E, x = x^*, \norm{x}_E = 1}

\begin{definition}[Positive and Negative Parts]
\label{definition:positive-negative-cstar-algebra}
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and $x \in A$ be self-adjoint, then there exists unique positive elements $x^+, x^- \in A$ such that
\begin{enumerate}
\item $x = x^+ - x^-$.
\item $x^+x^- = x^-x^+ = 0$.
\end{enumerate}
The pair $(x^+, x^-)$ are the \textbf{positive and negative parts} of $x$.
\end{definition}
\begin{proof}
Since $x$ is self-adjoint, $\sigma_A(x) \subset \real$ by \autoref{proposition:self-adjoint-spectrum}. Using the continuous functional calculus, existence is given by the functions $f^+(\lambda) = \lambda \vee 0$ and $f^-(\lambda) = \lambda \wedge 0$ and \autoref{proposition:positive-norm-inequality}.
On the other hand, for each $p \in \real[z]$ with $p(0) = 0$, (2) implies that $p(x) = p(x^+) + p(-x^-)$. By the \hyperref[Stone-Weierstrass Theorem]{theorem:stone-weierstrass}, $f(x) = f(x^+) + f(-x^-)$ for all $f \in C(\real; \real)$ with $f(0) = 0$. In particular, (1) then implies that $f^+(x) = f+(x^+) + f^+(-x^-) = f^+(x^+) = x^+$, and likewise $f^-(x) = x^-$. Therefore the decomposition is given uniquely by the continuous functional calculus.
\end{proof}
\begin{remark}
\label{remark:positive-negative-cstar-algebra}
The condition in the sign decomposition that $x^+x^- = x^-x^+ = 0$ is essential. Otherwise I may use silly decompositions like $0 = 1 - 1$.

\section{Positive Linear Functionals}

\begin{definition}[Positive Linear Functional]
\label{definition:cstar-positive-functional}
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and $\phi \in A^*$, then $\phi$ is \textbf{positive} if $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} \ge 0$ for all positive elements $x \in A$.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}
\label{theorem:cstar-positive-algebraic}
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and $\phi \in \hom(A; \complex)$, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\phi$ is a positive linear functional.
\item $\phi \in A^*$ with $\normn{\phi}_{A^*} = \dpn{1, \phi}{A}$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): For any $x \in A_{sa}$ with $\norm{x}_A \le 1$, $\sigma_A(1 - x) \subset 1 - [-1, 1] = [0, 2]$ by \autoref{proposition:commutative-spectrum-gymnastics}. Thus $1 - x \ge 0$ by \autoref{proposition:positive-spectrum}, and $\dpn{x, \phi}{A} \le \dpn{1, \phi}{A}$. By \autoref{proposition:hermitian-functional-norm}, $\norm{\phi}_{A^*} \le \dpn{1, \phi}{A}$, so $\norm{\phi}_{A^*} = \dpn{1, \phi}{A}$.
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): For each $x \in A_{sa}$, by restricting to $A[x]$, assume without loss of generality that $A$ is commutative. By the \autoref{theorem:riesz-radon-c0}, $\phi$ takes the form of a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\Omega(A)$, and $\norm{\phi}_{A^*} = \norm{\mu}_{\text{var}}$. For each Borel set $E \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$,
\begin{align*}
\norm{\mu}_{\text{var}} &= \int_{\Omega(A)} 1 d\mu = \mu(E) + \mu(\Omega(A) \setminus E) \\
&\le |\mu(E)| + |\mu(\Omega(A) \setminus E)| \le \norm{\mu}_{\text{var}}
\end{align*}
which is only possible if $\mu(E), \mu(\Omega(A) \setminus E) \ge 0$. As this holds for all $E \in \cb_{\Omega(A)}$, $\mu$ is positive, and $\phi$ then is a positive linear functional.
\end{proof}
