Let A1, A2 be commutative semi-simple Banach algebras and M(A1), M(A2) their multiplier algebras. Birtel in [2] has proved that every isomorphism of A1 onto A2 induces an isomorphism of M(A1) onto M(A2). In this note, we extend this result to the noncommutative case. We also show that if A is a dual A*-algebra which is a dense two-sided ideal of a B*-algebra B, then M(A) is isomorphic to M(B). Thus the converse of the previous result cannot hold. All algebras under consideration are over the complex field.
