Abstract

The notion of a strongly dense inner product space is introduced and it is shown that, for such an incomplete space $S$ (in particular, for each incomplete hyperplane of a Hilbert space), the system $F(S)$ of all orthogonally closed subspaces of $S$ is not stateless, and the state-space of $F(S)$ is affinely homeomorphic to the face consisting of the free states on the projection lattice corresponding to the completion of $S$. The homeomorphism is determined by the extension of the states. In particular, when $S$ is complex, the state-space of $F(S)$ is affinely homeomorphic to the state-space of the Calkin algebra associated with $\skew3\overline S$.
