Abstract: Let

B

be a C

^{*}

-algebra and

X

a C

^{*}

Hilbert

B

-module. If

p i n B

is a projection, denote by

S_{p} = x i n X : < x, x > = p

, the

p

-sphere of

X

. For

p h i

a state of

B

with support

p

in

B

and

x i n S_{p}

, consider the state

p h i_{x}

of

L_{B} (X)

given by

p h i_{x} (t) = p h i (< x, t (x) >)

. In this paper we study certain sets associated to these states, and examine their topologic properties. As an application of these techniques, we prove that the space of states of the hyperfinite II

_{1}

factor

R_{0}

, with support equivalent to a given projection

p i n R_{0}

, regarded with the norm topology (of the conjugate space of

R_{0}

), has trivial homotopy groups of all orders. The same holds for the space

S_p(R_0)={vin R_0:v^*v=p}subset R_0

of partial isometries with initial space

p

, regarded with the ultraweak topology.
