Streszczenie
In general, little is known about the lattice of closed ideals in the Banach algebra ${\scr B}(E)$ of all bounded, linear operators on a Banach space $E$. We list the (few) Banach spaces for which this lattice is completely understood, and we give a survey of partial results for a number of other Banach spaces. We then investigate the lattice of closed ideals in ${\scr B}(F)$, where $F$ is one of Figiel's reflexive Banach spaces not isomorphic to their Cartesian squares. Our main result is that this lattice is uncountable.
