Let C(H) denote the lattice of all (closed) subspaces of a complex, separable Hilbert space H. Let (AC) be the following condition that a subspace lattice 1 C C(H) may or may not satisfy: (AC) r = O(L) for some lattice automorphism q5 of C(H) and some commutative subspace lattice L C C(H). Then 1 satisfies (AC) if and only if 1 C B for some Boolean algebra subspace lattice B C C(H) with the property that, for every K, L E B, the vector sum K + L is closed. If 1 is finite, then 1 satisfies (AC) if and only if 1 is distributive and K + L is closed for every K, L E S. In finite dimensions r satisfies (AC) if and only if r is distributive. Every r satisfying (AC) is reflexive. For such 1r, given vectors x, y E H, the solvability of the equation Tx = y for T z Alg 1 is investigated. 1. Preliminaries. Throughout this paper H will denote a complex, separable, nonzero Hilbert space. The inner product on H is denoted (. ). Let B(H) denote the set of (bounded, linear) operators acting on H and, for T E B(H), let R(T) denote the range of T. Let 0(H) denote the set of (closed) subspaces of H. By a lattice of subspaces of H is meant a subset Z C 0(H) which is closed under intersections and closed linear spans, i.e., M, N E Y implies MnN E Y and MVN E F. A lattice of subspaces i is complete if n M^, E i and V M, E Y for every family {Ma,} of elements of i; it is commutative if PKPL = PLPK for every K, L E i (PK denotes the orthogonal projection with range K). A subset Z C C(H) is strongly closed if {PK: K E 2} is closed in the strong operator topology. By a subspace lattice on H is meant a complete lattice of subspaces containing (0) and H. As usual, for any subset i C 0(H) we let Alg : = {T E B(H): TM C M for every M E i} and let LatA = {N E 0(H):TN C N for every T E A} for any subset A C B(H). The subset i C C(H) is called reflexive if Z = Lat Alg i and transitive if Lat Alg Z = C(H). An automorphism O of C(H) is a bijection of C(H) onto itself satisfying M C N if and only if O(M) C O(N). Every automorphism o satisfies M(n m.)= nf (M.) and q$(V Ma) = V?(M,) for every family {Mc}C C (H). The image O(C) of a subspace lattice L under an automorphism o of 0(H) is obviously a subspace lattice. If S E B(H) is invertible, M -) SM (M E 0(H)) defines an automorphism. The image of any subset C 0(H) under this automorphism will be denoted ST. Much is known about commutative subspace lattices (for example, see [1, 6]). It is easy to show that commutativity is not preserved by automorphisms. (For example, let H = K G K, = {(0), K (0), (0) EK, H}, and let o be the automorphism induced by the invertible operator S E B(H) defined Received by the editors June 12, 1985. 1980 Mathematics Subject Classification.
