in a paper i saw the following statement:

Let $\Phi:B(X)\longrightarrow B(X)$ is an additive and surjective map. If $T\in B(X)$ and for some $x\in X$

$Tx \otimes {\Phi(T)}^*f=\Phi(T)x\otimes T^*f$ ,implies that $\Phi(T)x$ and $Tx$ are linearly dependent. what is the reason?

($x\otimes f $ means a rank one operator )

thank you for your help.

Note that $$ Tx \otimes \Phi(T)^*f = \Phi(T)x \otimes T^*f \implies\\ \langle (Tx \otimes \Phi(T)^*f)(y),g \rangle = \langle (\Phi(T)x \otimes T^*f)(y),g \rangle \quad \forall y \in X, g \in X^* \implies\\ g([\Phi(T)^*f(y)]Tx) = g([T^*f(y)]\Phi(T)x) \quad \forall y \in X, g \in X^* \implies\\ g([f(\Phi(T)y)]Tx) = g([f(Ty)]\Phi(T)x) \quad \forall y \in X, g \in X^* \implies\\ [f(\Phi(T)y)]g(Tx) = [f(Ty)]g(\Phi(T)x) \quad \forall y \in X, g \in X^* $$ Now, if we fix a $y$ such that either $\Phi(T)y$ or $Ty$ are not in $\ker f$, we see that there are constants $\alpha, \beta$ (not both zero) such that $$ \alpha \,g(Tx) = \beta \,g(\Phi(T)x) \quad \forall g \in X^* $$ which is to say that $Tx$ and $\Phi(T)x$ are linearly dependent.
