Where the article explains it

Define $\Lambda^\dagger$ : $\mathcal B(\mathcal H_c)$ $\to$ $\mathcal B(\mathcal H_f)$ by the pairing that must hold for every fine state and every coarse observable $O_c$ , $\mathrm{Tr}$ $\big[$ $\Lambda(\rho)$ \, $O_c$ $\big]$ = $\mathrm{Tr}$ $\big[$ $\rho$ \, $\Lambda^\dagger(O_c)$ $\big]$ .

The passage around this formula

That pullback is the object this article is built around: $D_\Lambda := H_f - \Lambda^\dagger(H_c)$ . $D_\Lambda$ is Hermitian on $\mathcal H_f$ — a positive, unital map applied to a self-adjoint input stays self-adjoint — and it carries units of energy, since both terms do. Its state-dependent reading,

An exponent tells how a base is used in multiplication. In x³, x is the base and 3 is the exponent: x³ = x × x × x.
