Summary: Let M be a properly infinite von Neumann algebra, and $\alpha$ a dominant action of a separable compact group. Choose a faithful normal state $\varphi_0$ on the fixed-point algebra $M^\alpha$ and lift it to M as $\varphi \coloneqq \varphi _0 \cdot \varepsilon$ by means of the canonical expectation $\varepsilon {\rm{ : }}M \to M^\alpha$. Then we express the modular objects associated with $\varphi$ in terms of the modular objects associated with $\varphi_0$.

Keywords: Modular structure, crossed product by a compact group dual, inclusions of von Neumann algebras with finite Jones index, minimal expectation, conjugate endomorphism.
