Abstract: Let H be a separable Hilbert space, and D(B(H))^ah the anti-Hermitian bounded diagonals in some fixed orthonormal basis and K(H) the compact operators. We study the group of unitary operators U_kd = {u in U(H): such that u-e^D in K(H) for D in D(B(H))^ah} in order to obtain a concrete description of short curves in unitary Fredholm orbits Ob={ e^K b e^{-K} : K in K(H)^ah } of a compact self-adjoint operator b with spectral multiplicity one. We consider the rectifiable distance on Ob defined as the infimum of curve lengths measured with the Finsler metric defined by means of the quotient space K(H)^ah / D(K(H)^ah). Then for every c in Ob and x in T(ob)_c there exist a minimal lifting Z_0 in B(H)^ah (in the quotient norm, not necessarily compact) such that g(t)=e^{t Z_0} c e^{-t Z_0} is a short curve on Ob in a certain interval.
