Kye's decomposability conjecture for 2-positive maps on M3(C)M_3(\mathbb{C})

Let Mn(C)M_n(\mathbb{C}) be the algebra of all n×nn\times n complex matrices, and let B(Mm(C),Mn(C))B(M_m(\mathbb{C}),M_n(\mathbb{C})) denote the space of linear maps from Mm(C)M_m(\mathbb{C}) to Mn(C)M_n(\mathbb{C}). A map is 2-positive if id2ϕid_2\otimes\phi is positive, and 2-copositive if τ2ϕ\tau_2\otimes\phi is positive, where id2id_2 is the identity map and τ2\tau_2 is the transpose map. A positive map is decomposable if it is the sum of a completely positive map and a completely copositive map.

Kye's conjecture. Every 2-positive, respectively 2-copositive, linear map in B(M3(C),M3(C))B(M_3(\mathbb{C}),M_3(\mathbb{C})) is decomposable.

The conjecture asks whether the decomposability property known for generalized Choi maps extends to every 2-positive or 2-copositive map on M3(C)M_3(\mathbb{C}). The paper states that it is answered affirmatively by the subsequent theorem.
