Abstract

Let X be an SQp-space, i.e. a quotient of a subspace of some Lp-space. Let BB(X) be a subalgebra of all bounded operators on X and let IB be a closed ideal. We show that the quotient algebra B/I is isometrically homomorphic to a subalgebra of B(Y) for some SQp-space Y. This generalizes a theorem of Bernard and Cole, corresponding to p = 2, which states that any quotient of an operator algebra is an operator algebra.
