Abstract: Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {it bounded/} unital homomorphism $ucolonAoB(H)$ is similar to a {it contractive/} one. Let $extmSim(u)=inf|S|,|S^{-1}|$ where the infimum runs over all invertible operators $ScolonHoH$ such that the ``conjugate homomorphism $ao{S}^{-1}u(a)S$ is contractive. Now for all $c>1$, let $Phi(c)=supextmSim(u)$ where the supremum runs over all unital homomorphism $ucolonAoB(H)$ with $|u|lec$. Then, there is $alphage0$ such that for some constant $K$ we have: ${\displaystyle }$Phi(c) le Kc^alpha.leqno (*)qquad forall c>1${\displaystyle }$ Moreover, the smallest $alpha$ for which this holds is an integer, denoted by $d(A)$ (called the similarity degree of $A$) and $(\ast )$ still holds for some $K$ when $alpha=d(A)$. Among the applications of these results, we give new characterizations of proper uniform algebras on one hand, and of nuclear $C^{\ast }$-algebras on the other. Moreover, we obtain a characterization of amenable groups which answers (at least partially) a question on group representations going back to a 1950 paper of Dixmier.
