Abstract
We study k-positive maps on operators. We obtain a new criterion on k-positivity in terms of the k-numerical range, and use it to improve and refine some earlier results on k-positive maps related to the study of quantum information science. We also consider a special class of positive maps extending the construction of Choi on positive maps that are not completely positive. Some open questions on the decomposability of such maps are answered.
