Also we discuss the closed sets in Prim T . with the upwards-looking topology and characterize maximal primitive ideals.

Let . be the chain of order ideals of e, and X. denotes the disjoint union F I {I : I OO . } = {(I, ) : I OO . OO I}. Adji and Raeburn shows that every primitive ideal of Toeplitz algebra T . of e is of the form Oe1 ker QI e where I is an order ideal of e and OO eC. They also showed [?. Theorem 3. that there is a bijection L of X. onto the primitive ideal space Prim T . of Toeplitz algebra T . given by L(I, ) := ker QI e Oe1 where OO eC satisfies |I = . Adji and Raeburn [?] introduced a topology in X. which is called the upwards-looking topology. When . is isomorphic with a subset of N O {O}, the bijection L is a homeomorphism [?. Proposition 4. , so the usual hull-kernel topology of Prim T . can be identified through the upwards-looking topology in X. Later. Raeburn and his collaborators [?] showed that L is a homeomorpism if and only if . is well-ordered, in the sense that every nonempty subset has a least element. More recently. Rosjanuardi and Itoh [?] characterised maximal primitive ideals of T . A series of analysis on subsets of . implies that any singleton set {} which consists of a character in eC is closed. This implies that every maximal primitive ideal of T . is of the following form L. , ) = ker Qe e Oe1 Given a totally ordered abelian group e and an order ideal I. In this paper, we apply the method in [?] and [?] to characterise maximal primitive ideal of Toeplitz algebra T . /J) of quotient e/J when the chain of order ideal . /I) is not well-ordered. Upwards-looking Topology Let e be a totally ordered abelian group. The Toeplitz algebra T . of e is the C*-subalgebra of B(`2 . )) generated by the isometries {Tx = Txe : x OO e } which are defined in terms of the usual basis by Tx . y ) = ey x . This algebra is universal for isometric representation of e [?. Theorem 2. e/I Let I be an order ideal of e. Then the map x 7OeIe Tx I is an isometric representation of e in T. /I). Therefore by the universality of T . , there is a e/I homomorphism QI : T . OeIe T . /I) such that QI (Tx ) = Tx I , and that QI is Suppose C. I) denotes the ideal in T . generated by {Tu TuO Oe Tv TvO : Characterisation of Primitive Ideals v Oe u OO I } and IndeCI Ou (T . /I), e/I ) is the closed subalgebra of C. T . /I)) sate/I Oe1 isfying f . = h . ) for x OO eC, h OO I Ou . It was proved in [?. Theorem 3. that there is a short exact sequence of C O -algebras: 0 Ie C. I) Ie T . Ie IndeCI Ou (T . /I), e/I ) Ie 0. in which II . () = QI . )Oe1 . for a OO T . OO eC, and is dual action of eC on T . characterized by e (Tx ) = . Tx . The identity representation T e/I of T . /I) is irreducible [?], it follows from [?. Proposition 6. that ker QI . )Oe1 is a primitive ideal of T . If X. denotes the disjoint union F I {I : I OO . } = {(I, ) : I OO . OO I}, it was showed in [?. Theorem 3. that L(I, ) := ker QI e Oe1 where OO eC satisfies |I = , . is a bijection of X. onto Prim T . Using the bijection L. Adji and Raeburn describe a new topology on X which corresponds to the hull-kernel topology on Prim T . This new topology, is later called the upwards-looking topology. They topologise X by specifying the closure operation as stated in the following definition. Definition 2. [?] The closure F of a subset F of X is the set consisting of all pairs (J, ) where J is an order ideal and OO JI such that for every open I there exists I OO . and N OO N for which I OC J and neighbourhood N of in J, (I. N|I ) OO F . Example 2. [?. Example . We are going to discuss some description of sets in X. by considering specific cases of e. An observation on e := Z Oilex Z gives interesting results. Let I be the ideal {. , . : n OO Z}, since I is the only ideal, we have X. = 0Ct IIt eC. Suppose 0 is a character in II defined by . , . 7Ie e2Ain , and let F = . Next we consider a character in eC defined by . , . 7Ie e2Ai. It is clear that |I = 0 . Then OO FE , because every open neighbourhood N of in eC contains an element . hich is nothing but it self ) such that its restriction on I gives a character in F . It is clear that 6OO F , hence F is not closed in the upwards-looking topology for X. Adji and Raeburn [?] proved that this is the correct topology to identify the hull-kernel topology of Prim T . when e is a group such that the set . of order ideal is order isomorphic to a subset of N O {O}. In [?]. Raeburn and his collaborators extended the results in [?]. Their main theorem, says that Prim T . is homeomorphic to X. with the upwards-looking topology if and only if the totally ordered set . is well-ordered in the sense that every non-empty subset has a least element. Their technique uses classical Toeplitz operators as well as the Rosjanuardi universal property of T . which was the main tool in [?]. Then they described Prim T . when parts of . are well-ordered. Rosjanuardi in [?] improved the results in [?] to the case when . is not well In [?. Proposition . it is stated that when . is isomorphic to a subset of {OeO} O Z O {O}, then we can use the upwards-looking topology on X. /I) to identify the topology on Prim T . /I). For general totally abelian group e, as long as there is an order ideal I such that every order ideal J ON I has a successor, the upwards-looking topology is the correct topology for Prim T . /I) [?. Proposition In [?. Theorem . it was proved that for any quotient e/I such that the chain . /I) is isomorphic to a subset {OeO} O Z O {O}, for any order ideal J % I, the upwards-looking topology on . /J) is the correct topology for Prim T . /J). Characterisation of Primitive Ideals Example ?? implies that any closed set in the point wise topology is not necessarily closed in the upwards-looking topology. When it is applied to any complement F C of a set F , it arrives to a conclusion that any open set in the point wise topology, is not necessarily open in the upwards-looking topology. This example motivated Rosjanuardi and Itoh [?] to prove more general cases. Combining results in [?] with ones in [?] give characterisation results for more general cases than in [?]. Proposition 3. Suppose that e is a totally ordered abelian group such that the chain . of order ideals in e is isomorphic to a subset of {OeO} O Z O {O}. For any I OO . , the maximal primitive ideals of T . /I) are of the form ker Qe/I . /I )Oe1 . Proof. Let I OO . The chain of order ideals in e/I is I OC J1 /I OC J2 /I OC . where Ji OO . and I OC Ji OC Ji 1 for all i. Hence . /I) is well ordered. Give F d the set X. /I) := {J/I : J OO . I OC J} the upwards-looking topology, hence Le/I is a homeomorphism of X. /I) onto Prim T . /I) by Theorem 3. 1 of [?]. Proposition 6 of [?], then implies that X. /I) is homeomorphic with Prim(T . Theorem 11 of [?] then gives the result. Proposition 3. Suppose that e is a totally ordered abelian group, and let I be an order ideal in e such that every oreder ideal J ON I has a successor. Then the maximal primitive ideals of T . /I) are of the form ker Qe/I . /I )Oe1 . Proof. Let I OO . such that every order ideal J ON I has a successor. Since each nontrivial element of . /I) is of the form J/I for J OO . and J ) I, every element of . /I) has a successor. This implies that . /I) is well ordered. Give F d the set X. /I) := {J/I : J OO . I OC J} the upwards-looking topology, hence Characterisation of Primitive Ideals Le/I is a homeomorphism by Theorem 3. 1 of [?]. The result then follows from Theorem 9 of [?]. Theorem 3. Suppose that e is a totally ordered abelian group, and I OO . such that . /I) O = {OeO} O Z O {O}. Let J OO . such that J % I. Then the maximal primitive ideals of T . /J) are of the form ker Qe/J . /J )Oe1 . Proof. Since every nontrivial ideal of e/I is of the form J/I where J OO . and J ! I and for ideals J1 . J2 such that J1 /I OI J2 /I implies J1 OI J2 , then may write . /I) := {I = JOeO OI . OI Jk /I OI Jk 1 /I OI . OI e = JO }. Now consider the subset I := {I = JOeO OI . OI Jk OI Jk 1 OI . OI JO = . If J 6= I is an element of I, i. e J OO . such that J % I, the set . /J) = {J OI K1 /J OI K2 /J. e/J is well ordered. Hence L is a homeomorphism of X. /J) onto Prim T . /J) by Theorem 3. 1 of [?]. The result is then follow from Theorem 9 of [?]. Acknowledgement. This paper was completed when the author visited the Department of Mathematics. Gunma University. Maebashi-Japan, 2011.
