Let be a C*-algebra and τ:G → Aut a compact abelian action such that the fixed point algebra τ is simple. Denote by F the *-subalgebra of G-finite elements. Let H: F be a *-operator commuting with τ such that and the matrix inequality

holds for all finite sequences X1, …, Xn in F. Then H is closable, and the closure is the generator of a strongly continuous semigroup {exp (−t): t ≥ 0} of completely positive contractions. Furthermore, there exists a convolution semigroup {μt: t ≥ 0} of probability measures on G such that

.

This result has various extensions and refinements.
