Abstract: Different equivalence relations are defined in the set $ L(\mathcal{H})^s$ of selfadjoint operators of a Hilbert space $ \mathcal{H}$ in order to extend a very well known relation in the cone of positive operators. As in the positive case, for $ a \in L(\mathcal{H})^s$ the equivalence class $ C_a$ admits a differential structure, which is compatible with a complete metric defined on $ C_a$. This metric coincides with the Thompson metric when $ a$ is positive.
