Classification of L^p AF algebras

We define spatial $L^p$ AF algebras for $p \in [1, \infty) \setminus \{ 2 \}$, and prove the following analog of the Elliott AF algebra classification theorem. If $A$ and $B$ are spatial $L^p$ AF algebras, then the following are equivalent: 1) $A$ and $B$ have isomorphic scaled preordered $K_0$-groups. 2) $A \cong B$ as rings. 3) $A \cong B$ (not necessarily isometrically) as Banach algebras. 4) $A$ is isometrically isomorphic to $B$ as Banach algebras. 5) $A$ is completely isometrically isomorphic to $B$ as matrix normed Banach algebra. As background, we develop the theory of matrix normed $L^p$ operator algebras, and show that there is a unique way to make a spatial $L^p$ AF algebra into a matrix normed $L^p$ operator algebra. We also show that any countable scaled Riesz group can be realized as the scaled preordered $K_0$-group of a spatial $L^p$ AF algebra.
