Abstract: Following a result of Hatori, Miura and Tagaki ([4]) we give here a spectral characterization of an isomorphism from a $C^{s}tar$-algebra onto a Banach algebra. We then use this result to show that a $C^{s}tar$-algebra $A$ is isomorphic to a Banach algebra $B$ if and only if there exists a surjective function $phi:AightarrowB$ satisfying (i) $sigmaleft(phi(x)phi(y)phi(z)ight)=sigmaleft(xyzight)$ for all $x,y,zinA$ (where $sigma$ denotes the spectrum), and (ii) $phi$ is continuous at $mathbf1$. A simple example shows that (i) cannot be relaxed to products of two elements, as is the case with commutative Banach algebras. Our results also elaborate on a paper ([3]) of Brev{s}ar and v{S}penko.
