Title: Homogeneous cones with pure transitivity are symmetric cones 

Abstract: 

In the ``General Probabilistic Theories" framework, we model abstractly possible physical systems using a compact convex set of normalized states, with measurement probabilities given by affine functionals evaluated on states. The normalized states are the base of a cone of unnormalized states. The finite-dimensional quantum systems, and their narrow generalizations the Euclidean Jordan algebraic systems, have state cones that are homogeneous, but also self-dual, hence symmetric.  Here, we show that a homogeneous cone has the additional property of ``pure transitivity", namely that the affine automorphism group of a base (``reversible transformations on normalized states")

acts transitively on the extreme points of that base (``pure states") if and only if it is a direct sum of isomorphic symmetric cones. I'll briefly discuss the physical and information-processing significance of these assumptions.  I'll also describe additional assumptions that ensure that the system is a standard quantum system, i.e. that the cone is the positive semidefinite Hermitian complex matrices.  If time permits I will also present unpublished results with C. Ududec, establishing, for general, not necessarily symmetric, homogeneous cones, that certain faces of the cone are projectivein the sense of Alfsen and Shultz, a notion closely related to the ``projection postulate" of quantum theory.
