C++ compare vector and list

I have this error:

no match for 'operator*' (operand type is 'std::__cxx11::list') C/C++ Problem

Because of this:

if (vetorTop[i] == *adj[u]){...

They are inicialised:

adj = new list <int>[N];
vector <int> vetorTop;

Any hints or help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
