Abstract

Using probability operators and Fourier transforms of CP-instruments on von Neumann algebras, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for operators to be probability operators associated with covariant CP-instruments or to be Fourier transforms of covariant CP-instruments. We discuss a convolution semigroup of covariant CP-instruments and a semigroup of probability operators associated with CP-instruments on von Neumann algebras.
