Abstract
We announce a solution to a multiplicity problem for nests posed by J. R. Ringrose approximately twenty years ago. This also answers a question posed by R. V. Kadison and I. M. Singer, and independently by I. Gohberg and M. Krein concerning the invariant subspace lattice of a compact operator. The key to the proof is a result concerning compact perturbations of nest algebras which was recently obtained by Niels Andersen in his doctoral dissertation. The complete proof of the general result as well as of a number of related results will appear elsewhere. A proof for the special case which answers Ringrose's original question is included herein.
