Abstract

The preduals of WW^*-algebras are 1-Plichko spaces. A natural question arises: does every predual possess a projectional skeleton (PS) {Ps:sJ}\{P_s:s\in J\} such that each PsP_s^* is a conditional expectation? In this note, we answer this question affirmatively for the preduals of the group von Neumann algebras of locally compact groups.
