      Let A be a unital \(C^ *\)-algebra and let B be a von Neumann algebra. Let S(A,B) be the convex set of unital positive linear maps between A and B. We prove that the extreme points of S(A,B) are exactly the unital algebra homomorphisms if and only if A is abelian and, either B is abelian or dim A\(<3\).
