Maximal abelian subalgebras of \(B(\mathcal{X})\)

Let \(\mathcal{X}\) be an infinite dimensional complex Banach space and \(B(\mathcal{X})\) be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on \(\mathcal{X}\). Żelazko [1] posed the following question: Is it possible that some maximal abelian subalgebra of \(B(\mathcal{X})\) is finite dimensional? Interestingly, he was able to show that there does exist an infinite dimensional closed subalgebra of \(B(\mathcal{X})\) with all but one maximal abelian subalgebras of dimension two. The aim of this note is to give a negative answer to the original question and prove that there does not exist a finite dimensional maximal commutative subalgebra of \(B(\mathcal{X})\) if \(\text{dim} X = \infty\).
