Ideals of causal operators. (English) Zbl 0599.47067

The definitions and properties of various ideals of a nest algebra are reviewed. These correspond to strengthenings of the concept of causality. The interrelationships between these concepts are examined. An open question concerning these ideals is settled, namely that the strongly strictly causal operators form the largest of the classes commonly considered.
