The topological extension conjecture for total ideals of CC^*-algebras

Let G(A)G(\mathcal{A}) denote the geometric object associated to a CC^*-algebra A\mathcal{A} by the extension procedure described in the source. Let T:KHausCMSLat\mathscr{T}:\operatorname{KHaus}\longrightarrow\operatorname{CMSLat} assign to each compact Hausdorff space its complete lattice of closed sets, and let T~\widetilde{\mathscr{T}} be its extension to CC^*-algebras. Let I\mathcal{I} denote the functor assigning the relevant lattice of ideals.

Topological extension conjecture. The functors T~\widetilde{\mathscr{T}} and I\mathcal{I} 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 CC^*-algebra. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
