TL;DR
The paper addresses how to recover geometric information from truncated operator-system data by analyzing sets of unital completely positive maps. It extends van Suijlekom’s BW-condition framework to obtain Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of CP-map spaces via $C^1$-approximate complete order isomorphisms between operator system spectral triples, showing convergence of truncations like $C(S^1)_{(n)}$ and $\mathcal{T}_n$ to $C(S^1)$. Concrete applications include Fejér–Riesz operator systems, Toeplitz operator systems, and truncations of the $d$-torus, with spherical and polyhedral schemes all yielding GH convergence of $\mathcal{UCP}_{\mathcal{K}}(E_n)$ to $\mathcal{UCP}_{\mathcal{K}}(E)$. The results provide a principled way to extract geometric information from partial spectral data in noncommutative geometry and related computational contexts, highlighting the robustness of the BW-topology-based approach for metric convergence.
Abstract
It is shown that van Suijlekom's technique of imposing a set of conditions on operator system spectral triples ensures Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of sequences of sets of unital completely positive maps (equipped with the BW-topology which is metrizable). This implies that even when only a part of the spectrum of the Dirac operator is available together with a certain truncation of the $C^*$-algebra, information about the geometry can be extracted.
