Abstract

It is shown that if a C*-algebra A contains a semi-scattered C*-algebra B such that the pure states of B and the zero functional extend uniquely to A, and the canonical mapping  is injective, then there exists a (unique) projection of norm one R : AB. In certain circumstances, the conditional expectation R can be effected by a unitary averaging process using unitary elements in the centre of the multiplier algebra M(B).
