For Hilbert space operators A and B, let ?AB denote the generalized derivation ?AB(X) = AX - XB and let /\AB denote the elementary operator rAB(X) = AXB-X. If A is a pk-quasihyponormal operator, A ? pk - QH, and B*is an either p-hyponormal or injective dominant or injective pk - QH operator (resp., B*is an either p-hyponormal or dominant or pk - QH operator), then ?AB(X) = 0 =? SA*B*(X) = 0 (resp., rAB(X) = 0 =? rA*B*(X) = 0). .
