Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a separable infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let $ℒ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathscr{H}$ into itself. Let $A=(A_1,A_2,\cdots ,A_n)$, $B=(B_1,B_2,\cdots ,B_n)$ be $n$-tuples of operators in $ℒ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$; we define the elementary operators ${\Delta }_{A,B}ℒ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)\mapsto ℒ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ by ${\Delta }_{A,B}\left(X\right)={\sum }_{i=1}^n{A}_{i}X{B}_i-X.$ In this paper, we characterize the class of pairs of operators $A,B\in ℒ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ satisfying Putnam-Fuglede’s property, i.e, the class of pairs of operators $A,B\in ℒ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ such that ${\sum }_{i=1}^n{B}_{i}T{A}_i=T$ implies ${\sum }_{i=1}^n{A}_i^{*}T{B}_i^{*}=T$ for all $T\in {𝒞}_1\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ (trace class operators). The main result is the equivalence between this property and the fact that...
