We also obtain some information concerning the positivity of local Voiculescu-Brown entropy with respect to single unitaries. In particular we show that if S has no roots of unity as eigenvalues then the local Voiculescu-Brown entropy with respect to every product of canonical unitaries is positive, and also that in the presence of completely positive CNT entropy the unital version of local Voiculescu-Brown entropy with respect to every non-scalar unitary is positive.13 pagesOperator AlgebrasDynamical Systemstext
