An extension of Putnam-Fuglede theorem for hyponormal operators (Q1074837)

Let \(S\in B(H)\) and \(T^*\in B(K)\) be hyponormal and assume \(C^ n(S,T)A=0\) for some \(A\in B(K,H)\), where \(C^ n(S,T)\) denotes n times application of the commutator C(S,T):\( B(K,H)\to B(K,H)\) defined by \(C(S,T)A=SA-AT\). Then \(C(S,T)A=C(S^*,T^*)A=0\). The result can be extended to a larger class of operators.
