If is a collection of operators on the complex Hilbert space , then the lattice of all subspaces of which are invariant under every operator in is denoted by Lat . An algebra of operators on is defined (3; 4) to be reflexive if for every operator B on the inclusion Lat ⊆ Lat B implies .Arveson (1) has proved the following theorem. (The abbreviation “m.a.s.a.” stands for “maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra”.)ARVESON's THEOREM. Ifis a weakly closed algebra which contains an m.a.s.a.y and if Lat, then is the algebra of all operators on .A generalization of Arveson's Theorem was given in (3). Another generalization is Theorem 2 below, an equivalent form of which is Corollary 3. This theorem was motivated by the following very elementary proof of a special case of Arveson's Theorem.

In this paper we study lattice properties of operator algebras which are invariant under compact perturbations. It is easy to see that if and are two operator algebras with contained in , then the reverse inclusion holds for their lattices of invariant subspaces. We will show that in certain cases, the assumption thats is contained in , where is the ideal of compact operators, implies that the lattice of is “approximately” contained in the lattice of . In particular, supposed and are reflexive and have commutative subspace lattices containing “enough” finite dimensional elements. We show (Corollary 2.8) that if is unitarily equivalent to a subalgebra of , then there is a unitary operator which carries all “sufficiently large” subspaces in lat into lat .
