    Let V be a complex finite dimensional vector space and T a linear operator on V. A subspace M of V is called invariant (hyperinvariant) under T if TM\(\subset M\) (respectively, if SM\(\subset M\) for every linear operator S on V commuting with T). The author gathers, and enlarges a list of conditions equivalent to ``Every invariant subspace of T is hyperinvariant''. The proofs given are simple.
