Abstract
Numerical experiments show that the Frobenius norm of the commutator of two large matrices typically clusters sharply around a certain value, which, moreover, is much smaller than one would predict. The purpose of this paper is to give a rigorous foundation of this phenomenon. We also discuss the question how big the Frobenius norm of commutator of the two matrices can actually be.
