Title: Closed ideals and subideals of the Banach algebra of compact operators on a Banach space
</p>
<p class="ql-ed">
Abstract <br />
<p>I will describe recent work with Hans-Olav Tylli (Helsinki) on closed ideals of the Banach algebra K(X) of all compact operators on a Banach space X. One only encounters non-trivial closed ideals of K(X) within the class of Banach spaces X failing the approximation property. The results include a Banach space Z together with an uncountable lattice of closed ideals of K(Z), where all of the ideals are pairwise isomorphic as Banach algebras. These ideals of K(Z) are not ideals of the algebra L(Z) of all bounded linear operators on Z; in fact, distinct closed ideals of L(X), for any Banach space X, are never isomorphic as Banach algebras due to a result of Chernoff. I will also discuss other examples of non-trivial closed subideals of L(X). Here a closed linear subspace I of L(X) is a non-trivial closed subideal if there is a closed ideal J of L(X) such that I is an ideal of J, but I is not an ideal of L(X).</p>
