Abstract
We study the relation of mutual strong Birkhoff–James orthogonality in two classical C∗-algebras: the C∗-algebra B(H) of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H and the commutative, possibly nonunital, C∗-algebra. With the help of the induced graph it is shown that this relation alone can characterize right invertible elements. Moreover, in the case of commutative unital C∗-algebras, it can detect the existence of a point with a countable local basis in the corresponding compact Hausdorff space.
