Abstract

We study the complementation (in \ell_\infty) of the Banach space c0,Ic_{0,\mathcal{I}}, consisting of all bounded sequences (xn)(x_n) that I\mathcal{I}-converge to 00, endowed with the supremum norm, where I\mathcal{I} is an ideal of subsets of N\mathbb{N}. We show that the complementation of these spaces is related to a condition requiring that the ideal is the intersection of a countable family of maximal ideals, which we refer to as ω\omega-maximal ideals. We prove that if c0,Ic_{0,\mathcal{I}} admits a projection satisfying a certain condition, then I\mathcal{I} must be a special type of ω\omega-maximal ideal. Additionally, we characterize when the quotient space c0,J/c0,Ic_{0,\mathcal{J}} / c_{0,\mathcal{I}} is finite-dimensional for two ideals IJ\mathcal{I} \subsetneq \mathcal{J}.
