Entanglement and output entropy of the diagonal map
  We review some properties of the convex roof extension, a construction used, e.g., in the definition of the entanglement of formation. Especially we consider the use of symmetries of channels and states for the construction of the convex roof. As an application we study the entanglement entropy of the diagonal map for permutation symmetric real N=3 states $\omega(z)$ and solve the case $z<0$ where $z$ is the non-diagonal entry in the density matrix. We also report a surprising result about the behaviour of the output entropy of the diagonal map for arbitrary dimensions $N$; showing a bifurcation at N=6.
