Maps with the Unique Extension Property and $$\hbox {C}^{*}$$-Extreme Points

We investigate boundary representations in the context where Hilbert spaces are replaced by \(\hbox {C}^{*}\)-modules over abelian von Neumann algebras and apply this to study \(\hbox {C}^{*}\)-extreme points. We present an (unexpected) example of a weak* compact \(\mathcal {B}\)-convex subset of \({\mathbb {B}}(\mathcal {H})\) without \(\mathcal {B}\)-extreme points, where \(\mathcal {B}\) is an abelian von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space \(\mathcal {H}\). On the other hand, if \(\mathcal {A}\) is a von Neumann algebra with a separable predual and whose finite part is injective, we show that each weak* compact \(\mathcal {A}\)-convex subset of \(\ell ^{\infty }(\mathcal {A})\) is generated by its \(\mathcal {A}\)-extreme points.
