Classifying the closed ideals of bounded operators on two families of non-separable classical Banach spaces (Q2661269)

There are currently only two classes of ``classical'' Banach spaces \(X\) for which a complete classification of the ideal lattice of their respective algebras of operators \(\mathscr{B}(X)\) is available. These are \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] \(X= c_0(\Gamma)\) or \(X=\ell_p(\Gamma)\), where \(\Gamma\) is an infinite cardinal and \(1 \leqslant p < \infty\) (see [\textit{M. Daws}, Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 140, No. 2, 317--332 (2006; Zbl 1100.46011)]); \item[(b)] \(X= \left( \bigoplus_{n=1}^{\infty} \ell_2^n \right)_D\), where \(D= c_0\) (see [\textit{N. J. Laustsen} et al., J. Funct. Anal. 214, No. 1, 106--131 (2005; Zbl 1067.46026)]) or \(D= \ell_1\) (see [\textit{N. J. Laustsen} et al., J. Oper. Theory 56, No. 2, 391--402 (2006; Zbl 1104.47062)]). \end{itemize} In the paper under review, the authors give a full description of the lattice of closed two-sided ideals of \(\mathscr{B}(X)\), where \(X= \left( \bigoplus_{n=1}^{\infty} \ell_2^n \right)_{c_0} \oplus c_0(\Gamma)\) or \(X = \left( \bigoplus_{n=1}^{\infty} \ell_2^n \right)_{\ell_1} \oplus \ell_1(\Gamma)\) for some infinite cadinal \(\Gamma\); see Theorem 1.1. Typically, a classification of the ideal structures of \(\mathscr{B}(X_1)\) and \(\mathscr{B}(X_2)\) for some Banach spaces \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) does not immediately yield the classification of the ideal structure of \(\mathscr{B}(X_1 \oplus X_2)\); compare with [\textit{D. Freeman} et al., ``The cardinality of the sublattice of closed ideals of operators between certain classical sequence spaces'', Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 53, No. 2, 593--595 (2021; Zbl 1484.47191), \url{arXiv:2006.02421}; ``The number of closed ideals of \(\mathcal{L}( \ell_p \oplus \ell_q)\)'', Preprint (2020), \url{arXiv:2006.15415v1}; \textit{I. Ts. Gokhberg} et al., Transl., Ser. 2, Am. Math. Soc. 61, 63--84 (1960; Zbl 0181.40601); translation from Izv. Mold. Fil. Akad. Nauk SSSR 10(76), 51--70 (1960)]. Hence the main contribution of the paper is perhaps Proposition 3.9, which can be stated as follows. For a Banach space \(X\), let \(\Xi(X)\) be the set of closed two-sided ideals in \(\mathscr{B}(X)\) which properly contain the the ideal of compact operators on \(X\). The assignment \[ \Xi(E) \times \Xi(D_{\Gamma}) \to \Xi(E \oplus D_{\Gamma}), \quad (\mathscr{I}, \mathscr{J}) \mapsto \begin{bmatrix} \mathscr{I} & \mathscr{B}(D_{\Gamma}, E) \\ \mathscr{B}(E, D_{\Gamma}) & \mathscr{J} \end{bmatrix} \] is a lattice isomorphism, whenever \(E=\left( \bigoplus_{n=1}^{\infty} \ell_2^n \right)_D\) and \((D, D_{\Gamma}) = (c_0, c_0(\Gamma))\) or \((D, D_{\Gamma}) = (\ell_1,\ell_1(\Gamma))\) for some infinite cardinal \(\Gamma\).
