Separable morphisms of operator Hilbert systems, Pietsch factorizations and entanglement breaking maps

Abstract: In this paper we investigate operator Hilbert systems and their separable morphisms. We prove that the operator Hilbert space of Pisier is an operator system, which possesses the self-duality property. It is established a link between unital positive maps and Pietch factorizations, which allows us to describe all separable morphisms from an abelian C*-algebra to an operator Hilbert system. Finally, we prove a key property of entanglement breaking maps that involves operator Hilbert systems.
