Abstract

The aim of this paper is to summarize, deepen, and comment upon some recentresults concerning restrictions and extensions of states on operator algebras. Thefirst part is focused on the question of the circumstances under which a purestate or a completely positive map restricts to a pure state on maximal Abeliansubalgebra. In the second part we present an extension theorem forStone-algebra-valued measures on quotionts of JBW algebras and discuss its consequences.
