We prove that (i) implies (ii) using constructions given by Goebel, that (ii) implies (iii) using projection operator properties derived from the spectral and Gelfand-Naimark-Segal theorems, and observe that (iii) implies (i) by Brouwer's fixed point theorem.6 pages, no figuresOperator AlgebrasFunctional Analysis46B20, 46L05 (Primary) 46L45, 47H09 (Secondary)Fixed point and spectral characterization of finite dimensional C*-algebrastext
