Does then follow, that A is nilpotent ? </p> <p>See also <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/77177/quasinilpotence-and-finite-spectrum" rel="nofollow">http://mathoverflow.net/questions/77177/quasinilpotence-and-finite-spectrum</a> and <a href="http://mathoverflow.net/questions/35207/finite-dimensional-subalgebras-of-c-star-algebras" rel="nofollow">http://mathoverflow.net/questions/35207/finite-dimensional-subalgebras-of-c-star-algebras</a></p>
