Abstract: We address the following two questions regarding the maximal left ideals of the Banach algebra $mathscrB(E)$ of bounded operators acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach pace $E$: (Q1) Does $mathscrB(E)$ always contain a maximal left ideal which is not finitely generated? (Q2) Is every finitely-generated, maximal left ideal of $mathscrB(E)$ necessarily of the form {Tinmathscr{B}(E): Tx = 0} (*) for some non-zero $xinE$? Since the two-sided ideal $mathscrF(E)$ of finite-rank operators is not contained in any of the maximal left ideals given by (*), a positive answer to the second question would imply a positive answer to the first. Our main results are: (i) Question (Q1) has a positive answer for most (possibly all) infinite-dimensional Banach spaces; (ii) Question (Q2) has a positive answer if and only if no finitely-generated, maximal left ideal of $mathscrB(E)$ contains $mathscrF(E)$; (iii) the answer to Question (Q2) is positive for many, but not all, Banach spaces.
