In this paper we characterize Birkhoff-James orthogonality of linear operators defined on a finite dimensional real Banach space \mathbbX. We also explore the symmetry of Birkhoff-James orthogonality of linear operators defined on \mathbbX. Using some of the related results proved in this paper, we finally prove that T ∈ \mathbbL(lp2) (p ≥ 2, p ≠ ∞) is left symmetric with respect to Birkhoff-James orthogonality if and only if T is the zero operator. We conjecture that the result holds for any finite dimensional strictly convex and smooth real Banach space \mathbbX, in particular for the Banach spaces lpn (p > 1, p ≠ ∞).
