On almost Poisson commutativity in dimension two

On almost Poisson commutativity in dimension two

Consider the following question: given two functions on a symplectic manifold whose Poisson bracket is small, is it possible to approximate them in the $C^0$ norm by commuting functions? We give a positive answer in dimension two, as a particular case of a more general statement which applies to functions …
