It is shown that two compact abelian groups \(G\) and \(H\) are topologically isomorphic iff there exists a character preserving algebra isomorphism of \(C(G)\) onto \(C(H)\). This result is an immediate consequence of the Pontryagin-van Kampen duality theorem. The essential part of the proof is known as well [cf. \textit{Y. Katznelson}, An introduction to harmonic analysis. New York etc.: John Wiley and Sons (1968; Zbl 0169.17902), VIII 4.2].
