Abstract
In this article, we show that, if \(S\in \mathcal {B}(H)\) is irreducible and essential unitary, then \(\{S,SS^*\}\) is a hyperrigid generator for the unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal {T}\) generated by S. We prove that, if T is an operator in \(\mathcal {B}(H)\) that generates a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal {A}\) then \(\{T,T^*T,TT^*\}\) is a hyperrigid generator for \(\mathcal {A}\). As a corollary it follows that, if \(T\in \mathcal {B}(H)\) is normal then \(\{T,TT^*\}\) is hyperrigid generator for the unital \(C^*\)-algebra generated by T and if \(T\in \mathcal {B}(H)\) is unitary then \(\{T\}\) is hyperrigid generator for the \(C^*\)-algebra generated by T. We show that if \(V\in \mathcal {B}(H)\) is an isometry (not unitary) that generates the \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal {A}\) then the minimal generating set \(\{V\}\) is not hyperrigid for \(\mathcal {A}\).
