Abstract
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the left projectivity and biprojectivity of Banach algebras defined by locally trivial continuous fields of Banach algebras. We identify projective -algebras defined by locally trivial continuous fields such that each -algebra has a strictly positive element. For a commutative -algebra contained in , where is a separable Hilbert space, we show that the condition of left projectivity of is equivalent to the existence of a strictly positive element in and so to the spectrum of being a Lindelf space.
