Isomorphisms of operator algebras

Abstract

In this paper we prove that several operator algebras are completely isomorphic to each other; e.g., the $C^*_\lambda(F_k)$, $k\geq 2$, the $C^*$-algebras generated by the regular left representation $\lambda:F_k\to B(\ell_2(F_k))$, are completely isomorphic to each other. We also study the ``non-commutative'' analytic spaces introduced by G. Popescu [Po], and give applications to Popescu's version of Von Neumann's inequality.
