In this paper we study lattice properties of operator algebras which are invariant under compact perturbations. It is easy to see that if and are two operator algebras with contained in , then the reverse inclusion holds for their lattices of invariant subspaces. We will show that in certain cases, the assumption thats is contained in , where is the ideal of compact operators, implies that the lattice of is “approximately” contained in the lattice of . In particular, supposed and are reflexive and have commutative subspace lattices containing “enough” finite dimensional elements. We show (Corollary 2.8) that if is unitarily equivalent to a subalgebra of , then there is a unitary operator which carries all “sufficiently large” subspaces in lat into lat .
