SUMMARY
If an operator \( T \) on a Hilbert space commutes with another operator \( S \) and \( T \) is invertible, then the inverse operator \( T^{-1} \) also commutes with \( S \). The proof begins with the equality \( TS = ST \), leading to the conclusion that \( T^{-1}S = ST^{-1} \). This establishes that \( T^{-1} \) maintains the commutative property with \( S \), confirming the relationship between invertible operators and their inverses in the context of operator theory.
