Hyperrigidity of C*-Correspondences

Abstract

We show that hyperrigidity for a C*-correspondence (A, X) is equivalent to non-degeneracy of the left action of the Katsura ideal $$\mathcal {J}_X$$ J X on X. This extends the work of Kakariadis (Bull Lond Math Soc 45(6):1119–1130, 2013, Theorem 3.3) and Dor-On and Salomon (J Lond Math Soc 98(2):416–438, 2018, Theorem 3.5) who establish this equivalence for discrete graphs as well as the work of Katsoulis and Ramsey (The non-selfadjoint approach to the Hao–Ng isomorphism, arXiv preprint arXiv:1807.11425, 2018, Theorem 3.1), who establish one direction of this equivalence.
