Abstract: Let omega1 be the first uncountable ordinal. By a result of Rudin, bounded operators on the Banach space C([0,omega1]) have a natural representation as [0,omega1]imes0,omega1]-matrices. Loy and Willis observed that the set of operators whose final column is continuous when viewed as a scalar-valued function on [0,omega1] defines a maximal ideal of codimension one in the Banach algebra mathscrB(C([0,omega1])) of bounded operators on C([0,omega1]). We give a coordinate-free characterization of this ideal and deduce from it that mathscrB(C([0,omega1])) contains no other maximal ideals. We then obtain a list of equivalent conditions describing the strictly smaller ideal of operators with separable range, and finally we investigate the structure of the lattice of all closed ideals of mathscrB(C([0,omega1])).
