✦ Synopsis


In this paper we are dealing with positive linear functionals on W*-algebras. We introduce the notion of a positive linear functional with 2-property (see Definition 1.1).

It is shown that each positive linear functional on a W*-algebra possesses the 2property. This fact allows to give a short proof of UELMANN'S conjecture on unitary mixing in the state space of a W*-algebra. I n proving our main theorem (see Theorem 1.2.) we obtain some results on positive linear functionals and orthoprojections which are useful in other context, too.
