It goes without saying that I would appreciate any help in answering it.</p> <p>Let {I_k} be a countable sequence of two sided closed ideals in a C*-algebra and J be a two sided closed ideal in the same C*-algebra. Then "intersection of {I_k + J} = (intersection of {I_k}) + J" </p> <p>If needed we can relax the above hypothesis by assuming that {I_k}'s and J are prime ideals.</p> <p>Thanks in advance, Audrey Kirilova. </p>
