INTRODUCTION The general structure of positive linear maps on c -algebras is highly combinatorial see Appendix B yet its subtlety should surpass its complexity. In this paper we try to exhibit some special features of positive linear maps by means of 2x2 operator-matrix manipulations. The main results here concerning some assorted inequalities of the Schwarz type appear non-trivial even if all c -algebras involved are limited to the finite-dimensional matrix algebras. It is noteworthy that some preliminary results presented here are well known but we include the proofs for completeness this article should thus be considered as a partly expository paper. The readers are also referred to 1 4 16 for some recent research on the subject. Throughout the paper c -algebras possess a unit I and are written in German type 91 . á 3 denotes the algebra of all bounded operators on the Hilbert space 3 . denotes the algebra of all n X n complex matrices. - 91 is the algebra of n X n matrices over 91. For an operator T 6 SS 3 we denote by C T for the unital c -algebra generated by T. T is said to be invertible if T has a bounded inverse T l. T is said to be positive in notation T 0 if T is hermitian and the spectrum of T is included in 0 oo in the matrix case T is also said to be positive semi-definite the unique positive square root of T is denoted by T1 2.
