A possible spectral characterization of commutative $C^*$ algebras
Let $A$ be a $C^*$ algebra. Assume that
the spectrum $Sp(a_1a_2\ldots a_{n-1}a_n)$ is unchanged as a set after a permutation of $a_i$'s. (unless possible emerge or removing 0 from the spectrum)

Is the category of $Z^* $ algebra equivalent to the category of $C^*$ algebras
A $Z^*$ algebra is a $C^*$ algebra whose all positive elements are zero divisor.
They form a category with usual structures.
Question. Is this category equivalent to the category of $C^*$ algebras?
Th …
