It is shown that a weakly closed subspace S of a nest algebra A is closed under conjugation by invertible elements in A, that is, a −1 Sa=S if and only if S is a Lie ideal. A similar result holds for not‐necessarily‐closed subspaces of algebras of infinite multiplicity. An explicit characterisation of weakly closed Lie ideals in a nest algebra is given.
