Abstract: Let $ X$ be a bounded operator on the Hardy space $ H^{2}$ of the unit circle. It has been a longstanding problem to determine whether the condition that $ T_{\bar u}XT_{u} - X$ is compact for every inner function $ u$ implies that $ X$ is a compact perturbation of a Toeplitz operator. We show that the answer is affirmative.
