central projections












0












$begingroup$


Suppose $A$ is a separable $C^*$ algebra(not necessarily unital),and let $I$ be the ideal generated by central projections in $A$,does there exist nonzero pairwise projections in the quotient $A/I$?

No. Take $A=C_0(mathbb R)$, then the only (central) projection is $0$, so $I={0}$ and $A/I=A$, which has no nonzero projections.



At the other end, take $A=K(H)$, then $I={0}$, and $K(H)/I=K(H)$ has lots and lots of projections.

    That depends on what algebra you are dealing with. In general, the question is meaningless.
