Voiculescu has previously established the uniqueness of the wave operator for the problem of ${{\mathcal{C}}^{(0)}}$-perturbation of commuting tuples of self-adjoint operators in the case where the norm ideal $\mathcal{C}$ has the property ${{\lim }_{n\,\to \,\infty }}\,{{n}^{-1/2}}\,\left\| {{P}_{n}} \right\|\mathcal{C}\,=\,0$, where $\{{{P}_{n}}\}$ is any sequence of orthogonal projections with rank$({{P}_{n}})\,=\,n$. We prove that the same uniqueness result holds true so long as $\mathcal{C}$ is not the trace class. (It is well known that there is no such uniqueness in the case of trace-class perturbation.)
