Prove that if operator on a hilbert space $T$ commutes with an operator $S$ and $T$ is invertible, then $T^{-1}$ commutes with $S$.

$T^{-1}S$=$T^{-1}T^{-1}TS$=$T^{-1}T^{-1}ST$

Start with $TS = ST$ so $T^{-1}TS = T^{-1}ST$. This simplifies to $S = T^{-1}ST$ so ...
 
I posted this question on math-stackexchange but apparently I asked something stupid and I was downvoted. I still don't have an answer to my question so I hope someone in here can help me or at least explain me why I am asking something stupid. I started studying Complex Analysis and came upon the following theorem which is a direct consequence of the Cauchy-Goursat theorem: Let ##f:D\to\mathbb{C}## be an anlytic function over a simply connected region ##D##. If ##a## and ##z## are part of...
