This result is applied to show that any pair of non-commuting unitary operators can be perturbed (in a weak sense) in such a way to decrease the commutator norm. Perturbations in norm are also considered and a characterization is given for pairs of unitary operators which are local minimum points for the commutator norm in the finite dimensional case.14 pages, plain TeX, UNM-RE-003Functional AnalysisOperator AlgebrasThe Soft Torus II: A Variational Analysis of Commutator Normstext
