Thomsen-Li's Theorem Revisited

In this paper, we prove a general version of Thomsen-Li’s Theorem–a Krein-Milman type theorem for C*-algebras. To be precise, for a Markov operator on $C[0,1]$ which preserves certain subspace of $C[0,1]$, we approximate it by an average of homomorphisms on $C[0,1]$ in the strong operator topology, additionally we require that this average also preserves the same subspace. Such results could be useful for constructing homomorphisms for subhomogeneous C*-algebras.
