Abstract: Let $A$ be a $C^{\ast }$-algebra and $EcolonAoA$ a conditional expectation. The Kadison-Schwarz inequality for completely positive maps, ${\displaystyle }$E(x)^*E(x) leq E(x^* x),${\displaystyle }$ implies that ${\displaystyle }$ |E(x)|^2 leq |E(x^* x)|.${\displaystyle }$ In this note we show that $E$ is a homomorphism if and only if ${\displaystyle }$|E(x)|^2 = |E(x^*x)|,${\displaystyle }$ for every $x$ in $A$. We also prove that a homomorphic conditional expectation on a commutative $C^{\ast }$-algebra $C_0(X)$ is given by composition with a continuous retraction of $X$. One may therefore consider homomorphic conditional expectations as noncommutative retractions.
