Abstract:
For any completely distributive subspace lattice $\mathfrak {L}$ on a real or complex reflexive Banach space and a positive integer $n$, necessary and sufficient (lattice-theoretic) conditions are given for the existence of a single element of $Alg\mathfrak {L}$ of rank $n$. Similar conditions are given for the existence of single elements of infinite rank. From this follows a relatively simple lattice-theoretic condition which characterises when every non-zero single element has rank one. Slightly stronger results are obtained for the case where $\mathfrak {L}$ is finite, including the fact that every single element must then be of finite rank.References
