In an earlier work, we defined and described a new group algebra , which is a von Neumann algebra containing the group G (3). In this paper we continue this study be relating the lattice of normal subgroups of the group G to the lattice of central projections of the group algebra . More precisely, we shall exhibit a one-to-one mapping ϕ of the lattice of closed normal subgroups of G into the lattice of central projections of , having the property that if N1 ⊂ N2, then ϕ(N2) ≤ ϕ(N1).
