On certain multiplier projections

Abstract

Let $\MCZK$, denote the multiplier algebra over $\CZK$, the algebra of continuous functions into the compact operators with spectrum the infinite product of two-spheres. We consider multiplier projections in $\MCZK$ of a certain diagonal form. We show that, while for each multiplier projection $Q$ of the special form, we have that $Q(x)\in\BH\setminus \KK$ for all $x\in {\prod }_{j=1}^{\infty }{S}^2$, the ideal generated by $Q$ in $\MCZK$ might be proper. We further show that the ideal generated by a multiplier projection of the special form is proper if and only if the projection is stably finite.
