Question

The aim of this question is to collect nice maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ with the following property:

$\phi_n:M_n(\mathbb{C})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{C})$ with $||\phi||=1$ and $||\phi_n||_{cb}\rightarrow \infty$ when $n\rightarrow \infty$

Here $||\phi_n||_{cb}$ denotes completely bounded norm of $\phi_n$, i.e. in this special case $||\phi_n||_{cb}=||\phi_{n}^{(n)}||$, where $\phi_{n}^{(n)}:M_n(\mathbb{C})\otimes M_n(\mathbb{C})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{C})\otimes M_n(\mathbb{C})$ such that $\phi_{n}^{(n)}([a_{ij}])=[\phi_n(a_{ij})]$ for every $[a_{ij}]\in M_n(M_n(\mathbb{C}))$.

There are many examples of such maps, the simplest one is the transposition of matrix.

Please contribute yours...

Answer 1

It is well known that each Schur multiplier satisfies $||.||_{cb}=||.||$. These maps are the $D_n$-bimodule maps on $M_n$. For the right module maps, the situation is more complicated. This gives concretes exemples of maps with your property. See the following paper:
