The topological extension conjecture for total ideals of -algebras
The topological extension conjecture for total ideals of -algebras
Let denote the geometric object associated to a -algebra by the extension procedure described in the source. Let assign to each compact Hausdorff space its complete lattice of closed sets, and let be its extension to -algebras. Let denote the functor assigning the relevant lattice of ideals.
Topological extension conjecture. The functors and are naturally isomorphic.
This formalizes the conjecture that extending the notion of an open or closed subset from spaces to noncommutative geometric objects yields the notion of a closed, two-sided, or total, ideal of a -algebra. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
