Abstract

In this paper, we continue our study of the norm-closure of the set CEof bounded linear operators acting on a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space Hwhich may be expressed as the commutator of two idempotent operators. In particular, we identify which biquasitriangular operators belong to the norm-closure clos(CE)of CE, and we exhibit an index obstruction to membership in clos(CE). Finally, we consider factorisations of bounded linear operators on Has sums and products of elements in CEand related sets.
