“…The idea of taking into account the selfadjoint structure, as far as it is present in any nonselfdjoint algebra, inspired the notion of TRO-equivalence [27], which led to an equivalence of Morita type, called ∆-equivalence, generalising Rieffel's strong Morita equivalence of C*algebras [53], and examined for operator spaces, operator algebras, and their dual counterparts in [26,28,29,30,31,32,33,34]. It turns out, in particular, that ∆-equivalence is wellsuited to describe stable isomorphism of operator algebras and operator spaces (that is, the isomorphism of their amplified copies obtained by tensoring with -depending on the setting -either the C*-algebra of compact operators or the von Neumann algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space).…”
