Abstract: We introduce discrepancy values, quantities inspired by the notion of the spectral spread of Hermitian matrices. We define them as the discrepancy between two consecutive Ky-Fan-like seminorms. As a result, discrepancy values share many properties with singular values and eigenvalues, yet are substantially different to merit their own study. We describe key properties of discrepancy values, and establish several tools such as representation theorems, majorization inequalities, convex formulations, etc., for working with them. As an important application, we illustrate the role of discrepancy values in deriving tight bounds on the norms of commutators.
