Introduction In probability theory, conditional expectations play a fundamental role. Conditional expecta- tions for von Neumann algebra have been studied in noncommutative probability theory. In particular, Takesaki 1 characterized the existence of conditional expectation using Tomita’s modular theory. Thus a conditional expectation does not necessarily exist for a general von Neumann algebra. The study of conditional expectations for O∗-algebras was begun by Gudder and Hudson 2. After that, in 3, 4 we have investigated an unbounded conditional ∗ ∗ expectation which is a positive linear map E of an O -algebra M onto a given O -subalgebra N of M. In this paper we will consider conditional expectations for partial O∗-algebras. Suppose that M is a self-adjoint partial O∗-algebra containing identity I on dense subspace D
