Summary: Let $\mathcal H$ and $\mathcal K$ be complex Hilbert spaces. Assuming the set-theore\-tical axiom on generalized continuum hypothesis it is shown that if the commutativity relation in $\mathscr B(\HH)$, the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal H $, is the same as in $\mathscr B(\mathcal K )$, then $\dim\mathcal H =\dim\mathcal K $.
