Abstract
We show that the extension property for pure states of a C*-subalgebra B of a C*-algebra. A leads to the existence of a projection of norm one R: A --> B in the case where B is liminal with Hausdorff primitive ideal space. Furthermore, R is given by a "Dixmier process" in which the averaging is affected by a group of unitary elements in the centre of the multiplier algebra M(B). These results generalize earlier work of J. Anderson and the author for the case when B is a masa of a. Various applications are given in the contest of inductive limit algebras such as AF algebras and, more generally, Kumjian's ultraliminary C*-algebras. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
