Rigidity for Isomorphisms between Operator Algebras with Commutative Diagonals
We show that two families of operator algebras, the CSL algebras of multiplicity free CSLs and the semicrossed products of commutative C$^*$-algebras, demonstrate a strong form of rigidity with respect to isometric isomorphisms. Specifically, the isomorphism class of any such algebra remains unchanged within its family, even if we allow for isomorphism after tensoring with operator algebras containing the compact operators. For semicrossed products of commutative C$^*$-algebras, the same conclusion holds even when tensoring with operator algebras whose diagonals are irreducibly acting. Collectively, these results imply rigidity with respect to stable isomorphisms: two algebras are isometrically isomorphic if and only if they are stably isomorphic.
