INTERSECTIONS OF MAXIMAL FACES IN THE CONVEX SET OF POSITIVE LINEAR MAPS BETWEEN MATRIX ALGEBRAS

Let $P_I$ be the convex compact set of all unital positive linear maps between the $n \times n$ matrix algebra over the complex field. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for which two maximal faces of $\cap P_I$ intersect. In particular, we show that any pair of maximal faces of $P_I$ has the nonempty intersection, whenever $n \geq 3$.
